Benefits of Behavioral-Based Biosafety TrainingA Review of the Science & Safety Training Program at Emory
University
2
Science & Safety Training Goal
Facilitate training in biosafety which provides an opportunity and environment to learn and
experience real laboratory issues with no risk to the health and
safety of individuals.
6
We Must Consider -
• Reality of working in a high-containment facility
• Cues which are reinforced by laboratory SOPs
• Provide training = confidence in practicing behavior
• Believe benefits of behavior outweigh consequences
• Consider stages and individual egos
• Culture of scientist and safety specialist
10
Behavioral-Based Training Programs
• Focus on behaviors
• Turns up the “heat”
• Allows for individual critique
• Increases participant retention
• Provides documentation
• Promotes self-awareness
• Allows for mistakes
12
A Day in the Life
• Mock Facility (BSL3/BSL4)
• Relatively Low Cost
• Strong Faculty
• Waiting List
• 25 Learning Objectives
• Assessments
• Passing

By the End of the Week…
• 40 hours of instruction
• 6 written examinations
• 4 practical examinations

• Exercises must be done annually
How does one document, maintain, and facilitate effective training and
exercises on an annual basis?
23
Future Courses
• Building Emergencies: Building Local Partnerships
• Life-Threatening Emergency: Determining Best Practices
• A Sound Approach for Animal Care Staff Retention
24
Building Behavioral-Based Training Programs• Identify Learning Objectives (25)
• Allocate 1.5 Hours per Objective
• Develop Written Examination
• Develop Practical Examination
• Split Curriculum into – Applied, Lecture, Case-study, and Lessons Learned
• Evaluate Program
• Change Program
