The relatively new course is entering its 5th year. Dr. Curtis Patton asked OEHS to prepare this course for EPH students to: Provide an awareness of the profession of Biological Safety w/in the discipline of Occupational Health and Safety; To demonstrate safe practices (to protect themselves and others) for those EPH students who may end up handling infectious agents in the laboratory or field as a vocation; and To provide those EPH students who will end up in a career in Public Health with the foundation of biological safety as public health officials who may have to respond to emergencies, participate in outbreak investigations or investigations of lab-acquired infections, and also to provide those who may manage organizations with employees at risk – so they know what their employees should be doing to protect themselves.
