This e-learning module was developed to provide training on biosafety and biosecurity to medical laboratories.

With the publication of the fourth edition of the WHO biosafety manual, this module highlights a risk-based approach as the basis for the application of biosafety and biosecurity concepts.

The module is divided into 4 chapters:

  • Prerequisites for a biosafety and biosecurity program
  • Risk analysis in the laboratory
  • Implementation of actions
  • Control and improvement of practices

For the 360° ​​visit, included in the module, it is the Charles Mérieux Infectiology Center in Bamako, Mali, which opens its doors to you! You can find the visit on the Biosafety & Biosecurity module (Part 2).
