Every institution, irrespective of size should have a safety program. The program should be in compliance with the regulations from the body that regulates Occupational Safety and Health in the country. This Biosafety Management Course is a program that emphasizes on the best management and safety practices in an organization where laboratory works involving biological agents are carried out. This course is designed for safety managers, OSHE person- nel, researchers and science officers. Lack of knowledge in the field of biosafety will lead to the risk of accidents and the impact of injury. Many laboratories handling biohaz- ards employ an ongoing risk management assessment and enforcement process for biosafety. Failures to follow such protocols can lead to increased risk of exposure to biohazards or pathogens. Human error and poor technique contribute to unnecessary exposure and compromise the best safeguards set into place for protection. To provide participants knowledge on biosafety guideline, programs, safe operating procedures, best practices and safeguards. To provide participants on knowledge of biowaste management. To provide participant on knowledge of risk assessment, emergency response plan (ERP), and proper use of personal protective equipment. course objectives www.ibd.utm.my INSTITUTE OF BIOPRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA enquiries Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra, 54100 Kuala Lumpur tel : +603.2615 4406 Attn : Yatie email : [email protected] 81310 UTM Johor Bahru, Johor tel : +607.553 1559 Attn : Asmafarhana email : [email protected] course content i. introduction to biosafety ii.
