The Canadian Biosafety Handbook, Second Edition,(CBH) a companion document to the Canadian Biosafety Standard (CBS) Second Edition is now available. While the CBS details the biosafety and biosecurity elements required by containment laboratories, the CBH provides information and guidance on how to achieve these specifications. Both should be readily available for all CL2 laboratory staff. It can be accessed at http://canadianbiosafetystandards.collaboration.gc.ca/cbh-gcb/index-eng.php
