Prepare and Protect

Description

Biological safety is a critical requirement when working with or around infectious disease agents.
To prevent exposures and keep staff and patients safe, laboratories and health care facilities rely on personal
protective equipment, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and engineering controls. In an instant, however,
a single inappropriate human behavior can negate any of these safeguards.

This reference provides an important call to action for anyone who relies on safety plans to consider carefully
the humans who must follow those plans. Written by an expert in behavioral biosafety training, Prepare and Protect
offers a common-sense program for addressing and reducing the risk factors of human behavior. Learn how to

Examine the safety culture of your organization and its approach to risk

Motivate the compliance, adherence to rules, and community thinking that keep everyone safe

Evaluate, validate, and verify SOPs and staff competence

Create safety plans and safety training programs that connect outcomes to behaviors

Provide leadership that translates the containment philosophy from words to actions
