Course Overview
In facilities dealing with biological hazards, it is essential for staff to learn how to mitigate and manage risk across their organizations. However, the landscape of regulations, guidelines, standards, and biosafety practices can be complex to navigate.
In this course, participants are guided through a comprehensive understanding of the key concepts related to biorisk management. The course provides a thorough discussion of national and international regulations, and distinguishes between the various components of safety protocols and incident reporting systems in a way that relates to staff at all levels. Through lively discussions, real-world examples, and knowledge-sharing, participants encounter a range of scenarios to support their learning and interpretation.
This course is suitable for staff from all levels who deal with biological hazards, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and bio-research.
At the end of this course participants will be able to:
- Gain robust knowledge to understand and interpret regulatory frameworks, terminology, and processes
- Develop competence and ability to identify hazards, compare risk assessment and mitigation methods, and prevent infection when handling hazardous microorganisms and toxins
- Make more informed decisions by comparing and contrasting solutions in biorisk management, including facility design, emergency management, and performance monitoring
- Solve problems with confidence and infer from their knowledge to discuss safety effectively in their teams, while promoting safety culture in their organizations
- Construct effective, long-term solutions with workable, sustainable biosafety management planning and reporting
- Think and act holistically to apply biosafety frameworks to all aspects of operations for a complete and comprehensive approach
