Biosafety Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal
If you work with biological materials, it's quite possible that you will produce hazardous waste. What types of hazardous waste might you produce? The obvious answer is biohazardous, or medical, waste. But if you're like a lot of people who work with biological materials, you may also work with or around other hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials, which wind up as waste too.

Laboratory Safety - Biohazards, Part 1: Understanding Risk
Laboratories are special, often unique work environments that pose identifiable infectious disease risks to persons in or near them. As early as the turn of the century published reports describe laboratory-acquired infections from typhoid, cholera, glanders, brucellosis, and tetanus. Through attention to biosafety, reported incidents of laboratory-acquired infections have decreased. In this training you will learn about biohazards typical in lab settings and ways you can protect yourself, others, and the environment. Our course is based on 'Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories' (BMBL) published by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and N.I.H. (National Institute of Health). This publication establishes biological safety levels and defines work practices and lab construction features required for each level. The BMBL is an advisory document that represents standard industry practice.

Laboratory Safety - Biohazards, Part 2: Controlling Risk
In Part 2, you will learn about various ways that these risks are managed. In this part, you will learn about engineering controls, administrative controls and work practice controls. Then you will learn about personal protection equipment, your last line of defense against exposure. The course ends with a discussion of what to do when things go wrong, starting with spill procedures and finally covering emergency procedures.
