Before using biohazardous agents in laboratory animals, you must complete proper training. Along with the Veterinary Service Center (VSC), we offer training for animal biosafety projects at animal biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) or above, which is called “Working Safely with Biohazardous Agents in Laboratory Animals.” The first part is a 20-minute web-based video reviewing general practices to follow when working at BSL-2. After completing the training, you will meet with Biosafety and VSC personnel to review safe practices specific to particular studies or animal facilities.
