Past EBSA events

The WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual (LBM) serves as a de facto global standard that presents best practices and sets trends in biosafety. The recent publication of the fourth edition expands the thorough, evidence-based and transparent assessment of the risks, allowing safety measures to be balanced with the actual risk of working with biological agents on a case-by-case basis. 

A challenging shift from routines based on levels? An opportunity to allow optimizing risk management, in particular in less resourced envrionments? Join us and discuss with two of the LBM4 contributors, active EBSA members, providing their insights on the (r)evolution this version marks and how biosafety professionals can use it in their daily practice.

2 half day online webinar

CANCELLED

A half-day workshop focusing on risk assessment. Not only will you be introduced to the ins and outs of risk assessment, there will also be plenty of opportunity to practice in risk assessment by yourself by means of case studies and an interactive discussion. Also, we will take the opportunity to highlight the recent accomplishments and future plans of the BBP Task Forces and Working Groups. The ideal opportunity to find out what BBP has done and hopes to do for you in the future to support you as a biosafety professional. Moreover, you may be challenged to join in one of the Task Forces or Working Groups yourself!

EBSA22 Conference - Bucharest

Organized by the Belgian Biosafety Professionals (BBP) and the Dutch Association for Biosafety Officers (BVFp)

Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands

Working with hazardous biological material or providing the necessary support to have people working safely with the hazardous material is our day-to-day job. For that, we are experienced in assessing the risk of contained use activities, to train our coworkers and to watch over a culture of biosafety.

The conference on April 19 and 20 2018 took place at the Maersk Tower of  the  Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences of the University of Copenhagen.

Are you finding your way in the biocide legislation? Or are you struggling, as many colleagues, with questions like:

• Can I still use particular products (e.g. Virkon®) and, if so, for how long?
• If not, what are suitable alternative products?
• Do we need to change our decontamination procedures?  
• What are the consequences of the biocide legislation on my organization?

We hope to offer clarity during the BBP workshop
