EMPHNET Conducts Back-To-Back Training Courses for Liberian and Guinean Laboratory Personnel and Biosecurity Officers

EMPHNET, in collaboration with the Moroccan Biosafety Association (MOBSA), conducted two training courses for laboratory personnel and biosecurity officers from Liberia and Guinea between May 15 and 26, 2016. Organized in Casablanca, Morocco, the trainings were supported by the Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP) of the U.S. Department of State.

 

The first training, “Promoting ‘Cradle to Grave’ Security of Biological Samples,” was an intermediate-to-advanced course that covered biosafety and biosecurity measures. The objective of this course was to promote the security of pathogenic samples “from cradle to grave,” and to support secure and sustainable management of biological samples. The trainees were laboratory personnel and biosecurity officers from Liberia: fourteen were in attendance.

 

Back-To-Back Training Courses for Liberian and Guinean Laboratory Personnel and Biosecurity Officers (6)
The course material covered a range of topics relevant to laboratory biosafety and biosecurity, biorisk management, field biosafety and biosecurity, health and safety for laboratory workers, and medical waste management. The Training’s sessions combined theory with practice, as the training investigated case studies of relevance to the experience of the trainees. The case studies discussed the following topics: the  experience of Liberians in biosafety and biosecurity during the Ebola outbreak; capacity building needs in the Republic of Liberia; and the risks and threats posed by biological sciences in Morocco. Other interactive sessions were also introduced to explain concepts of the course material.

The second training was titled “Dual Use, Bioethics and IATA.” The first two days of the training focused on topics of Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC), Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC), select agents, Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) and the responsible sharing of biological agents. The training also included case studies and interactive activities. The trainees were Liberian and Guinean laboratory personnel and biosecurity officers: 23 participants were in attendance.

The following three days, a Dangerous Goods (DG) expert trained and examined participants on International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations for the shipment of infectious substances. Participants who passed the examination with at least 80% passing rate became IATA certified shippers of infectious substances for a period of two years.

 

The two trainings come as part of EMPHNET’s engagement with health security-related initiatives which aims to prevent epidemics, detect biological threats, rapidly assess disease outbreaks, and conduct proper Biorisk management, including biosafety and biosecurity.
