WORKING SAFELY IN A
BIOLOGICAL SAFETY
CABINET
AN ONLINE LEARNING COURSE
AVAILABLE ON WWW.CDC.TRAIN.ORG
Sponsored by the
Division of Laboratory Systems,
Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
DESCRIPTION
A biological safety cabinet (BSC) is the primary means of
containment developed for working safely with infectious
microorganisms. Class II BSCs, the most common cabinets
used in laboratories, are designed to provide personnel
protection (for you and those around you), product
protection (for your samples), and environmental
protection.
This basic-level eLearning course provides information on
the safe use of Class II biological safety cabinets. Topics
covered include major parts of a BSC, how a BSC works,
how to work safely inside a BSC, and what to do if there is
an emergency while working in a BSC. Videos, interactive
exercises, job aids, and a modifiable checklist template are
included in the course to enhance the learning experience.
AUDIENCE
This online course is designed for public health and clinical
laboratory staff, safety professionals and persons
interested in safe use of biological safety cabinets.

OF CHEMICAL
FUME HOOD
SAFETY
AN ONLINE LEARNING COURSE
AVAILABLE AT WWW.CDC.TRAIN.ORG
Sponsored by the
Division of Laboratory Systems
Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
DESCRIPTION
A chemical fume hood is the main piece of laboratory
equipment that protects laboratory staff working with
hazardous chemicals. When properly used, fume hoods
protect staff from inhaling chemical gases, vapors, and
aerosols. They serve as a physical barrier between staff
and the hazardous materials inside the hood, and provide
some splash protection.
This basic-level eLearning course provides an essential
understanding of the major components of a chemical
fume hood and proper practices for its safe and effective
operation. Topics covered include the major components
and types of fume hoods and their monitors, maintaining
proper airflow, daily use protocols and good fume hood
work practices, and what to do if there is an emergency.
This online course is designed for public health and clinical
laboratory staff, safety professionals, and persons
interested in the safe use of chemical fume hoods as
determined by your laboratory-specific risk assessment.

CENTRIFUGE
SAFETY
AN ONLINE LEARNING COURSE
AVAILABLE ON WWW.CDC.TRAIN.ORG
Sponsored by the
Division of Laboratory Systems,
Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
DESCRIPTION
Centrifuges are instruments used to separate mixtures,
based on particle size and density, by spinning the
mixtures at high speeds. These instruments are essential
tools in all types of laboratories. Serious injuries or
potential exposures can occur if centrifuges are improperly
used or maintained.
This basic-level eLearning course provides information on
the safe use of centrifuges. Topics covered include major
parts of a centrifuge, types of centrifuges, potential
hazards, how to work safely with a centrifuge, and what to
do if there is an emergency.
