Target audience
The course acts as a guide for anyone considering the implementation of sealability testing of high containment laboratory areas at their own site.
Requirements and qualifications
No prior knowledge is required, however working in an environment where safe working is critical would make this course relevant.
Course description
This course is designed to provide an understanding of the need for Safe Systems of Work (SSoW) and how along with a robust Permit to Work (PtW) system they can help to both identify and reduce risk. Each organisation is different and will adopt a system that is appropriate for their needs and this course explains how it is applied at The Pirbright Institute to provide context only. It is designed as a basic introduction to the practical application of these systems.
