Biosafety, Biosecurity and the Evaluation of Biohazards Course - Facilitators' Manual
This resource is comprised of an instructor’s manual, lecture presentations, student readings, exercises and assignments. It provides an overview of the field of biological safety and its application for students and practitioners interested in the epidemiology of microbial diseases. Topics addressed include: micro- and molecular biology research; research involving laboratory animals; the design of laboratory facilities; bioterrorism; indoor air quality investigations; and disinfection and sterilization. Federal, state, and local regulations, standards, and guidelines are presented and reviewed. Interactive exercises and case studies are employed to reinforce key course concepts.
