Biosafety Practices and Techniques

When working in a Legionella testing laboratory or other facility that works with or handles biological hazards, it’s important to have your staff trained with the best biosafety practices and techniques.

First and foremost, you need to make sure your staff understand the biohazards they are working with and what to do if they are exposed. Assistance should be quickly available when a worker is exposed to chemicals or biohazards.

Ensure that all personnel attend laboratory safety training and understand all procedures and safety precautions associated with their activities.

Over 2,000 people have attended our Control of Biohazards in the Research Laboratory over the past 39 years. 

Registration for the April 9-13, 2018 course at the Johns Hopkins University Mt. Washington Campus Baltimore MD USA is open. https://www.legionella.com/biosafety-training/

All personnel must practice good personal hygiene by washing their hands frequently with mild non-antimicrobial soap, especially after handling potentially hazardous materials. 
Our 4-day Control of Biohazards Course will be given April 9-13, 2018 at the Johns Hopkins Mt. Washington Campus, Baltimore MD.
