Särskild behörighet Experience of and/or education in laboratory work.
Kursens syfte The purpose of the course is to enable the students to obtain an understanding of risks and of principles in safety measures in the medical science laboratory, as well as a consciousness about general and individual responsibilities for the planning and execution of applicable safety measures. The purpose is also to develop skills in performing risk analyses and writing up risk assessments.

Kursens lärandemål After completing the course, you should be able to:

• understand the regulatory framework that governs laboratory safety including the chain of responsibilities
• apply the KI rules and routines for laboratory work.
• apply the KI routines for waste management and transport.
• apply appropriate safety measures.
• demonstrate risk awareness by assessing the risks associated with experiments involving chemicals,
microbiological agents, cell cultures and human blood/tissues in the laboratory.
Kursens innehåll The course aims at giving theoretical and practical knowledge on chemical and biological aspects of laboratory safety. Topics will deal with writing risk assessments, chemical health risks including allergy, cancer and flammable agents, handling and storage of dangerous chemicals, handling of microorganisms and cell cultures including human blood and tissue samples, laboratory acquired infections, biosafety measures including personal protection devices, ventilated workplaces, genetically modified microorganisms, biosecurity and dual use, transport of dangerous goods and waste management.
Arbetsformer The mandatory "KI’s Laboratory Safety Introduction for laboratory personnel" is an integral part of this course. In addition, there will be teaching and learning activities such as lectures, group discussions, practical sessions, web-tutorials, quizzes and mentimeter exercises. The course is six days in total.
Obligatoriska moment -Completion with certificate of "KI’s Laboratory Safety Introduction for laboratory personnel".
-Completion of mandatory self-tests/quizzes
-Presence during course activities, marked as mandatory in the schedule. Students cannot compensate for absence during compulsory activities but are referred to coming courses for these activities.
Examination The examination is based on an individual written examination, a risk assessment assignment and the active participation and contribution in an oral presentation. The student's certificate of "KI’s Laboratory Safety Introduction for laboratory personnel" needs to be uploaded in the Canvas platform for the course.
