Ralph,

We do test competency at BSL-2 and 3 levels, by observation in their lab or in an EHS lab. This video gives the general content for BSC use, but every observation is a bit different, depending on the work planned.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Hands on training module?

We have a laboratory space with a fume hood and a biosafety cabinet available for use as a hands-on safety training location for lab workers. We are in the process of developing a training syllabus for a 2 hour training module that addresses both biosafety and chemical safety issues at a basic level (proper use of ventilation equipment, selection of PPE, spill clean-up, etc.).

The question came up as to whether other schools have developed similar training sessions and what they might be including in this setting. If anyone has developed such a program and is willing to share lessons learned from this experience, we'd appreciate any words of wisdom you have.

Thanks for your help with this.
