Training

The Laboratory Preparedness, Education and Safety (LPES) unit of the MSPHL is dedicated to providing a variety of training activities for both our internal staff as well as external partners throughout the state. We offer training and technical assistance as well as consultation to sentinel laboratories in Missouri with regards to our laboratory services. The MSPHL also provides scientific expertise and guidance for the Rule out / Referral process of possible Bioterrorism agents.

In addition, the LPES unit provides packaging and shipping training to our external partners on an annual basis to meet regulatory and recertification requirements for the shipment of dangerous goods.

This full day seminar will cover regulations for Category A and Category B infectious substances and dry ice in accordance with the Department of Transportation (DOT), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the United States Postal Service (USPS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The workshop will engage participants through lecture, hands-on demonstrations, and breakout discussions throughout.
