| Abstract |
An instructor's guide on laboratory biosafety principles for biosafety trainers and laboratory workers at all levels, incorporating 227 35mm colour slides in 17 modules covering: laboratory associated infections; dissemination of microbes in standard laboratory practice; biosafety principles; classification of risk; safeguards on entering the laboratory; receipt and transport of specimens; experimental procedures (minimising aerosols, containment of aerosols in biological safety cabinets); decontamination and sterilisation (heat treatments, liquid chemical germicides); handling and storage of hazardous chemical materials; waste disposal procedures; emergency procedures; safeguards before leaving the laboratory; laboratory design and facilities; hazard control in the animal laboratory; elements of a laboratory safety programme. The guide is designed to be used with the Laboratory Biosafety Manual (see CIS 83-2044), also available in French. |
