Biological Hazards (CAN)

What is Biological Hazards (CAN)?

Exposure to biological hazards including microorganisms, fungi, plants, insects, and animals can cause illness or injury. Biological Hazards Safety Training (OSHA) teaches how to identify, manage, and prevent these risks. This OSHA-compliant course includes a written exam and employer checklist, and through interactive modules and quizzes, participants learn to recognize hazards, understand exposure routes, apply safe practices, use PPE, and respond to incidents. By the end, learners can assess biological hazards, implement control measures, and maintain a safe, compliant work environment.

Course Overview

Exposure to biological hazards can lead to serious illness, injury, or infection. Biological Hazards Safety Training (OSHA) provides essential knowledge on how to identify, manage, and prevent risks associated with microorganisms, fungi, plants, insects, and animals in the workplace.

This OSHA-compliant online training fulfills the classroom portion of safety requirements and includes both a written exam and an employer checklist for practical evaluation. Interactive modules and practice quizzes help reinforce learning, ensuring workers understand how to protect themselves and others from biological threats.

Intended Audience:
