The course is aimed at all those people who work in Microbiology laboratories and/or animal facilities interested in the field of biosafety and risk prevention in these workplaces. It is also aimed at students in the final years of their science degrees (Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy, Microbiology, Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry and Nursing), as well as master's and doctoral students and senior technicians in Vocational Laboratory Training. Clinical and Medical and in Environmental Health, as well as technicians in Health Emergencies.

The teachers and collaborators of this course are graduates and/or doctors in Veterinary Medicine and Biology, with training in occupational risk prevention, as well as laboratory and maintenance technicians, and based on our training and our teaching and research experience in environmental issues. and based on our teaching, research and work experience in high biological risk facilities, we hope to have prepared an enjoyable and simple syllabus that we hope will be interesting to you and that you will be able to follow without difficulty whatever your training may be.

goals

The purpose of this course is to understand the meaning and importance of biological risk management in microbiology laboratories and/or animal facilities. Effectively controlling the risk posed by the handling of material and/or biological agents is essential to protect the personnel in the workplace and the environment and community that surrounds them. Knowledge of the preventive measures to apply and their proper implementation will allow the risk to be reduced and controlled effectively, creating a safe environment. The learning objectives of the course are:

  • Understand the concepts of biosafety and bioprotection (biocustody), and the elements that influence the achievement of effective biological risk management
  • Know the most relevant guides, documents and standards in biosafety.
  • Know the legislation on occupational risk prevention, mainly in relation to biological risk, but also in relation to the occupational risks of microbiology laboratories and how to prevent them.
  • Know how to put into practice the knowledge acquired in your workplace.

Agenda

The course program consists of twelve teaching units grouped into three modules. Module I explains the basic concepts and elements that are applied in the area of ​​biosafety: biosafety (biosafety), bioprotection (biosecurity), containment, risk groups of biological agents, biosafety levels, biosafety facilities, biosafety equipment and safe work methods (appropriate microbiological techniques). Module II deals with Spanish legislation on the prevention of occupational risks, focusing on biological risks and the most common risks in microbiology laboratories. Finally, Module III presents practical cases of application of biological risk management in specific facilities, in specific cases of analysis work in microbiology laboratories and use of animals in research that require inoculation of microorganisms, detailing the techniques and measures applied.

Module I: Basic fundamentals of biosafety and bioprotection

  1. Biosafety and biological risk.
  2. Installations and verification of biological containment facilities.
  3. Biosafety equipment
  4. Safe work methods (appropriate microbiological techniques)

Module II: Spanish legislation on occupational risk prevention

  1. Introduction to prevention legislation.
  2. Identification and evaluation of risks.
  3. Risk reduction measures and other responsibilities of the employer.

Module III VISAVET and practical cases of bovine tuberculosis, ovine brucellosis and COVID
