Examples of BSL-1 organisms are: Agrobacterium radiobacter, Aspergillus niger, Bacillus thuringiensis, Escherichia coli strain K12, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Micrococcus leuteus, Neurospora crassa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Serratia marcescens..
The agents require Biosafety Level 2 containment.
Examples of BSL-2 organisms are: Mycobacterium, Streptococcus pneumonia, Salmonella choleraesuis.
BSL-3 risk group contains biological agents that usually cause serious disease (human, animal or plant) or that can result in serious economic consequences..

Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2) practices, equipment, and facility design are applicable to clinical, diagnostic, teaching, and other laboratories in which work is done with moderate-risk agents that are present in the community and associated with human.
Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the salmonellae, and Toxoplasma spp..
Biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) covers all laboratories that work with agents associated with human diseases — that is, pathogenic or infectious organisms — that pose a moderate health hazard..
When you have received your certificate (s) for all the 10 modules (either from a single course provider or mutiple providers if you used different ones for different modules), complete the Application for Registration as a Biosafety Practitioner (MS WORD) form.
This training covers an overview of the NIH Guidelines as well as biosafety as it relates to Biosafety Level.
1) Topics include risk assessments, hazards of agents, exposure routes, PPE, engineering controls, decontamination, spill response, exposure response, training requirements, and lab responsibilities.
The training must be renewed every 3 year.
This Biosafety Practitioner Level 1 (Foundation) course is a complete online course.
Delegates are given access to e-learning materials/instructions on the start date above and have six weeks to complete the full online course.
All of the e-learning modules and assessments must be completed within this period.
This course consists of some e-learning and three consecutive days of contact training by the Biosafety Training Institute (BTI) tutors, held in Edinburgh.
Delegates are given access to e-learning materials and instructions on the start date above and have six weeks before they are due to attend the teaching days in Edinburgh.
All faculty, staff, and students who will be listed on an IBC registration that has been approved for work at Biosafety Level 1 must complete the BSL1 Training before they can be added to a registration.
More information about the requirement to take this training can be found in the IBC policyabout training.
