TRAINING
Listed below
are some of the biological training courses offered through ORCBS.
To view training course schedules and sign up for a course, see
the ORCBS website.
Biological
Safety Training
The training was developed to address specific biosafety needs of
research personnel working with infectious agent and/or recombinant
DNA. This training is based on MSU's Biological Safety Manual.
Biohazardous
Waste Training Brochure
This training brochure is to be used by supervisors and employees
who must comply with the Michigan Medical Waste Regulatory Act (MMWRA)
training requirements. The MMWRA training requirements apply to
every employee who generates, handles, treats and/or disposes of
biohazardous waste (including sharps) at MSU. This brochure includes
general policies that apply to MSU biohazardous waste generators
as well as a site-specific training record that is to be completed
with the employee's supervisor and returned to the ORCBS for recordkeeping
purposes.
Bloodborne
Pathogen Initial Training
This training is designed for MSU personnel who work in a laboratory
or healthcare setting and are involved with human blood or other
potentially infectious materials including human cell lines.
Bloodborne
Pathogen Refresher Training
This is the annual refresher training required for those who have
already taken an initial course. You can complete the on-line
Bloodborne Pathogen Refresher or you can contact the ORCBS to
schedule an on-site training program for your department.
Shipping
and Transportation of Biological Materials
This training is required for anyone who plans to ship materials
that are classified as "infectious substances" under the
International Air Transportation Association (IATA) regulations.
This includes multi-modal courier shipments (i.e. items offered
for shipment by FedEx or Airborne Express). There are specific requirements
for proper packaging, labeling, and documentation under the IATA
regulations that require this training.
Please note
that biological materials may be classified as "infectious
substances" if they contain or are suspected to contain Risk
Group 2 pathogens or if the purpose of the shipment is determination
of the presence of a pathogen. To determine whether you need this
training, please contact Jamie Willard at 353-1877.
