Hi Ralph,

 

This is a list of resources that I have collected. The Dow Chemical CompanyÕs video provides a nice introduction to the differences between Biosafety Level 1 and Biosafety Level 2. It also describes good microbiological practices.

 

Resources

á         Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) 5th Edition (BMBL) http://www.cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/bmbl5/index.htm

á         Biological Risk Assessment Template provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/BiologicalRiskAssessmentWorksheet.pdf

á         Pathogen Safety Data Sheets (PSDSs)  provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/index-eng.php

á         Risk Group Classification for Infectious Agents provided by the American Biological Safety Association (ABSA) http://www.absa.org/riskgroups/

á         Recognizing the Biosafety Levels Training provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) http://www.cdc.gov/training/quicklearns/biosafety/

á         Biological Hazards Lab Safety Module provided by the Dow Chemical Company http://safety.dow.com/en/safety-courses/specialized-topics

 

I hope this helps.

    As of this morning, I have a "pop training" now scheduled for Friday for biology students conducting BSL-1 level undergrad research. Their future biolab work is entirely unpredictable, so I'd like to include a list of key references they might want to know about in the future. I'm pretty well covered on the chemical safety side in this regard, but I wonder if anyone on the list has put together a list of 4 or 5 key safety references that beginning bio lab workers should be aware of. I know about the large professional volumes like BMBL, but am looking for something more friendly for this audience. Something like "SACL for the Biolab".

   

    Thanks for any help with this.
