Welcome to the new series in the BRAP Webinar Series for 2026, the BioRisk 360: An Expert’s Series. Join us on April 18, 2026, for its first installment titled “Biosafety and Biosecurity Best Practices in Laboratory Operations.”

We warmly invite all biosafety professionals, laboratory practitioners, researchers, safety officers, and advocates to join us for this important session. This webinar will bring together experts and members of the biosafety community to discuss practical strategies, current standards, and best practices that help ensure safe, secure, and responsible laboratory operations.

This webinar offers a simple, practical introduction to how safety and security work in a laboratory. It clearly explains the difference between biosafety (preventing accidents with harmful materials) and biosecurity (preventing misuse or unauthorized access).

Participants will learn how everyday actions can reduce risks, how to spot common warning signs like damaged equipment or unsafe behavior, and how to follow easy steps when something goes wrong. The session also covers basic lab safety symbols, why access control matters, and your role in keeping the lab secure.

We look forward to your participation in this first installment of the BioRisk 360 series.
