No, they are different courses offered by different offices within EHS. Lab Safety 101 covers general lab safety topics, while General Biosafety covers the principles and practices of biosafety and how those are applied at Georgia Tech.
- Is the Lab Safety 101 course the same as the General Biosafety course?
- I'm a non-GT-affiliated student/employee/researcher/visitor, and am required to take biosafety trainings. How do I sign up for these trainings?
Email us to register for an upcoming classroom session. You will not be able to log in to www.trains.gatech.edu to register.
- How do I get a copy of a biosafety course certificate?
Email us with:
- Your full name
- Which course you need a certificate for
- What date the course was taken
We will email you a copy of your certificate. We can only provide records for biosafety trainings. If you need a certificate from another group in EHS, contact someone in that group.
- How can I check the last time I took biosafety training?
Log in to www.trains.gatech.edu and view your own personal transcript. It should have all previously attended courses listed and the dates that they were completed.
- What biosafety trainings do I need to take and how frequently?
The trainings that are required vary based on what materials you're working with, and all courses require a refresher periodically. See the Biosafety Training page for more details.
