The Training Analysis for a BSL-2 Biomedical Laboratory was created to define all tasks and subtasks in biosafety for all persons working in an international infectious disease detection laboratory. The analysis was done using the Instructional Systems Design (ISD) methodology defined in the publication, ISD From the Ground Up1. The product is a template that can be used as a reference for developing a laboratory-based biosafety training program for BSL-2 biomedical laboratories or as a base for the development of training for microbiological and containment laboratories. This template was originally used in the design of a competency training program. Application of the training analysis in a competency training program is more fully described in “Quantifying Competency in Biosafety: Application of the Instructional Systems Design (ISD) to Biosafety and Laboratory Biosecurity”, Delarosa, P., et al., Applied Biosafety 16:3, 2011. However, this type of analysis can be applied to any training design and can be readily applied to the development of both didactic and practical training materials.

Target Audience: All persons designing biosafety training. Persons interested in competency training in Biosafety

This is a “do it yourself” methodology for the development of biosafety training that incorporates biosafety tasks into working procedures and practices in the laboratory. The goal of the training design is to accurately define all biosafety training that an individual needs to safely complete their work and establish a method for practical integration of biosafety procedures on the job.
