 In person biosafety training sessions are CANCELLED until further notice.  Remote sessions may be offered, depending on criticality of needs.  Please contact the Biosafety Office at Biosafety@WVUHSC.onmicrosoft.com to discuss the possibility of setting up remote training.


Biosafety training is required for anyone who will have contact with biohazardous materials. The initial training will be held in-person and the training will need to be updated every 3 years online at SOLE
