About BBP Online Workshop: Think, Assess, Notify: Working Safely with Biological Agents

Workshop content

How do you correctly report an incident involving biological agents? What does Belgian legislation require from your organization?

In this workshop, a scientific expert from the Federal Public Service Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue will explain the federal rules governing biosafety, with a strong focus on incident notification and the practical steps every workplace must follow when working with pathogens.

Afterwards a Q&A session will be organized to address questions or remarks from the audience.
