Recommended Courses for Entering Biosafety Professionals
The Member Resources Committee (MRC) has compiled this list of biosafety courses that will be beneficial to those biosafety professionals looking to expand their expertise.
Being part of ABSA has been one of my greatest joys at work, and I have learned so much from conferences and webinars.
Being an ABSA member has enabled me to have collaborative input into initiatives (such as the ANSI standard on BSL-3 ventilation performance verification) that have significant impacts on biorisk management.
My experience with ABSA has been positive and worthwhile. My highest praise goes out to the training ABSA offers to incoming professionals.
By being an ABSA member, I don’t feel “alone” in biosafety. Whether it’s through my ties to the PPB instructor group or through the connection to the broader biosafety community that ABSA encompasses, I know that I can always get help on just about any biosafety issue with just a call, email, or text message.
