Containment Level 3 Facilities: Design and Operation

Due to the growing demand for regular training on design and operational concepts related to Containment Level 3 (CL3) facilities, the course structure has been revised to facilitate delivery and to meet the audience’s needs. The revised course will address the basic and intermediate design and operational concepts associated with CL3 facilities through lectures and practical exercises.

Objective

By the end of this course, participants will be familiar with basic and intermediate levels of design and operational concepts associated with Canadian CL3 laboratories.  This course will provide hands-on participation and discussion of how CL3 facilities for both human and animal pathogens are planned, designed, constructed, commissioned, certified and operated.  Presented in part as an interactive course, participants will be encouraged to actively engage in the course discussions and practical sessions.

Who the course is for?

This course is designed for biosafety professionals, level 3 facility users and managers, engineers, architects, and other personnel involved in designing, operating or managing level 3 facilities.
