Event details

If this is your first year working on Biology practicals and you have concerns about the Health and Safety aspects and the techniques, then this course will help build your confidence. The hands-on course will give guidelines on how to work safely to prepare the materials and equipment. We will also look at ways in which you can get unreliable practicals to work. You will be able to trial all the practicals you prepare, and then explore issues with clearing away and disposal. This is a foundation biology course. The course assumes you are familiar with the basics of Health and Safety management. If not, you would be advised to attend the Health and Safety for Science Technicians course first.

What will the course include?

  • health and safety and risk assessment in biology
  • sourcing, making, maintaining and using biology equipment
  • safely managing chemicals in biology
  • safely managing animal materials in practicals
  • safely managing plant materials in practicals
  • the basics of the use of IT in biology practicals

Course Fee: £99.00 per person attending
