Case Western Reserve University is committed to ensuring the highest standards of biosafety.
Our team in the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) office provides training covering biosafety regulations (OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard) and best practices as an initial Zoom training session with online retraining modules on Canvas required yearly thereafter.
All labs using biologicals must also conduct lab specific training on procedures performed in the lab which is documented as part of the laboratory Exposure Control Plan.
Please note that any future changes to federal compliance standards may necessitate the completion of an updated or additional training module.
