NYC PHL Biosafety Outreach Program

NYC PHL’s biosafety outreach program offers free, on-site training in biosafety risk assessment and laboratory biosafety for clinical laboratories. For more information, or if you have questions regarding Biosafety, contact the PHL Outreach Program at Lbtrng@health.nyc.gov.

Below are the collection of biosafety risk assessment and biosafety resources for New York City’s sentinel hospital clinical laboratories.These resources are the product of research from biosafety sources that were combined to help create a biorisk program. They can be used as a guide in strengthening your biosafety program.
