  1. Benefits of Behavioral-Based Biosafety Training A Review of the Science & Safety Training Program at Emory University Sean G. Kaufman, MPH, CHES Director of Programs Center for Public Health Preparedness and Research Rollins School of Public Health Emory University 404.727.2729 sgkaufm@sph.emory.edu 1

  2. Science & Safety Training Goal Facilitate training in biosafety which provides an opportunity and environment to learn and experience real laboratory issues with no risk to the health and safety of individuals. 2

  3. 219 (BSL3, ABSL3, BSL4, ABSL4) 2 10% $77,000 ($3,500 per person) 3

  4. Behavioral-Based Training Programs 4

  5. Our goal is to - Promote safe laboratory behavior. 5

  6. We Must Consider - • Reality of working in a high-containment facility • Cues which are reinforced by laboratory SOPs • Provide training = confidence in practicing behavior • Believe benefits of behavior outweigh consequences • Consider stages and individual egos • Culture of scientist and safety specialist 6

  7. Behavioral-Based Training Phases Phase I Phase III Phase II Phase IV 7

  8. If you don’t have time…. Just how much are you willing to give? 8

  9. Behavioral-Based Training Synergy Science Trainer Practitioner 9

  10. Behavioral-Based Training Programs • Focus on behaviors • Turns up the “heat” • Allows for individual critique • Increases participant retention • Provides documentation • Promotes self-awareness • Allows for mistakes 10

  11. A Day in the Life 11

  12. A Day in the Life • Mock Facility (BSL3/BSL4) • Relatively Low Cost • Strong Faculty • Waiting List • 25 Learning Objectives • Assessments • Passing 12

  13. Laboratory Activity – 3 hours 13

  14. Group Laboratory Session – 1 hour 14

  15. Learning Team Activity – 2 hours 15

  16. Lecture Session – 2 hours 16

  17. Expert Seminar – 1 hour 17

  18. What are these people doing? 18

  19. By the End of the Week… • 40 hours of instruction • 6 written examinations • 4 practical examinations 19

  20. Strengths • Provides training documentation • Reduces participant fear and anxiety • Magnifies participant weaknesses • Identifies participant issues (that typically would not be seen) • Maintains training curriculum • Exercises participants 20

  21. Weaknesses • Offsite • IS NOT A BE ALL END ALL • Four Phased Approach • Top Down Approach • Takes Significant Time Initially 21

  22. Training & Select Agent Regulations • Responsible Official • “Must have appropriate education and training” • Training must be done annually • Exercises must be done annually • How does one document, maintain, and facilitate effective training and exercises on an annual basis? 22

  23. Future Courses • Building Emergencies: Building Local Partnerships • Life-Threatening Emergency: Determining Best Practices • A Sound Approach for Animal Care Staff Retention 23

  24. Building Behavioral-Based Training Programs • Identify Learning Objectives (25) • Allocate 1.5 Hours per Objective • Develop Written Examination • Develop Practical Examination • Split Curriculum into – Applied, Lecture, Case-study, and Lessons Learned • Evaluate Program • Change Program 24
