HSE Training and Events is to run a 5 days course on Biosafety - working practices and managing safety at Containment Level 3.
This course will allow attendees to achieve a greater understanding of the work carried out within a microbiological Containment Level 3 facility, the equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) used and the concepts and philosophy of working with biological agents at that level of containment. It will also cover the design, management, maintenance, testing and legislative requirements associated with Containment Level 3 laboratory facilities. It will provide the skills and confidence to deal with accidents and incidents. The course is designed in line with HSE's newly published guidance 'Management and operation of microbiological containment laboratories'.
The course will be a combination of presentations and scenario-based exercises, as well as practical sessions in HSE's Containment Level 3 laboratory suite, to provide a full understanding of the design, operation and use of such facilities.
Laboratory managers of Containment Level 3 facilities.
Previous experience of working at Containment Level 2 is assumed.
Who will present the course?
The course will be run at the HSE Science and Research Centre in the spa town of Buxton in the heart of the Peak District and has good links to mainline train stations and Manchester International Airport.
We can also offer bespoke courses based on the above or other related courses, e.g., refresher courses for laboratory managers, which can be conducted either at Buxton or at your site.
The cost of the course is £2,450 per person (includes course notes, lunch and refreshments).
Please note the invoice option is not available within 4 weeks of the course date, or for overseas customers. If you are selecting the invoice option for payment, it will be mandatory to input a purchase order/reference number as we are unable to process booking forms without this.
