Training requirements are determined by risk assessment by the biosafety staff.
- Aerosol Transmissible Disease (ATD) - REQUIRED for all personnel working with ATDs
- Biosafety - REQUIRED for all "personnel working in a research or teaching biological lab facility or those working with agents associated with human diseases that pose a moderate hazard to personnel and the environment"
- Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) - REQUIRED for those working with or handling BBP (human or non-human primate blood, body fluids, tissues, cells or other potentially infectious material (OPIM) which may contain human bloodborne pathogens)
- Medical Waste Management - REQUIRED for all working with ANY sharps or handling biohazardous/medical waste
- IATA Biological Dangerous Good Shipping - REQUIRED for research personnel who plan to ship biological dangerous good/s
- Recombinant Nucleic Acids - REQUIRED for those working with or handling recombinant nucleic acids
