This e-learning course is designed for scientists who will be working with Class I Microbiological Safety Cabinets (MSCs) or refresher training for those currently working with Class I MSCs.

The aim of the e-learning course is to give the delegate a review of the function and safe working practices when using a Class I MSC.

On completing the course delegates will be able to explain and describe:

The internal and external features of a Class I MSC
The functions of the cabinet, including how the filters are used to remove aerosols from within the cabinet and their efficiency
The airflows, including the effects on the airflows caused by other people working in the laboratory, operator movements and equipment used in and near the cabinet
Best practice to be used in the Class I MSC, including pre-use checks, good microbiological practice and what Personal Protective Equipment to use while working in the cabinet
Which equipment and consumables are most appropriate to be used in the cabinet
How to disinfect the cabinet and items coming out of the cabinet to keep all staff safe from laboratory acquired infection
How to react in an emergency, in case of a spill or power outage while working in the cabinet

The course does not remove the need for specific practical training on the techniques and specific laboratory practices required to work safely in your laboratory.
