About EBSA19 - Course D - Valuable biological material - treated to be used safely

Course description:

Unlike decontamination, and disinfection where it is intended to damage and kill biological material there are situations where the material is valuable and needs to be taken from containment for further processing in a lower containment environment while retaining its important biological integrity/function/structures/elements but removing or reducing its hazard.

In this interactive workshop the participants will develop:

• Examples of situations when this occurs: pcr, vaccine manufacture
• Sources of information and types of processing
• Decision making tool on the need for reduction and verification
• Validation and assurance  criteria
• Understanding of risk assessment and effort-benefit
