Canadian Biosafety Application

Get biosafety information anywhere!

The Canadian Biosafety Standard (CBS), third edition, developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency , is used to verify the ongoing compliance of regulated facilities with a human pathogen and toxin licence or a terrestrial animal pathogen import or transfer permit.

• full-text view of the CBS
• filter requirements for a:
▫ laboratory
▫ prion work area
▫ large scale production area
▫ small or large animal containment zone
• filter biosecurity requirements 
• add notes and photos to the displayed requirements 
• use checkboxes to verify requirements 
• sort requirements by status 
• search keywords within a list of requirements 
• save and export requirement checklists for different locations 

Links to additional biosafety and biosecurity documents and training are also available within the app.
