Biosafety
This comprehensive program is designed to develop the key skills required to become a Biosafety Officer.
It enables participants to identify and effectively manage biological risks through an in-depth understanding of biosafety measures such as containment strategies, use of protective equipment, waste management, and the transport of biological or infectious materials.
The course is intended for laboratory professionals working in companies, universities, colleges, and hospitals, as well as for PhD students in life sciences (biology, biomedical sciences, veterinary medicine, etc.).
This biosafety training is also highly valuable for prevention advisors and regulatory affairs managers. The pedagogical approach combines theoretical instruction, hands-on exercises, lab visits, and equipment demonstrations to ensure a thorough understanding and practical application of key concepts.
A continuing education certificate in biosafety is awarded to participants who meet the training requirements.
