The global efforts through various agencies have created awareness in implementing biorisk management system to strengthen safe conduct in research laboratories. This is critical to provide a safer working environment with maximum protection to human, plant, animal, community and environment. Through these efforts, many people are more aware of the matters pertaining to laboratory bisosafety and biosecurity, and also concern about public health emergency, such as a natural disaster, act of terrorism or disease outbreak. Nevertheless, many are still not aware of the importance of emergency preparedness and response. Emergency preparedness and response is another area that should receive the same level of attention, as well as the resources and plans in anticipating such emergency should be in place for any possible emergencies. This course introduces the concept of emergency and incident response, as well as to provide a framework on how to respond to any emergencies and incidents. In addition, interactive session on responding to emergency and incident will be focused on first aid, chemical and biological spillage, as well as transportation. At the end of the course, participants would gain the ability to recognize and respond to the emergency and incident happen in their laboratory appropriately.
