Webinar Biological agents

Biological agents are hot topic! Although there is currently no standard for its assessment, the subject is receiving increasing attention. That is why we, in close collaboration with an international scientific consortium, developed a new qualitative risk assessment tool for exposure to biological agents. The new tool, BioRisk, is unique in our field and in the market!

Join us on 21 November, during the webinar ‘Biological Agents, an underexamined risk factor in Occupational Hygiene’. Dive into the world of biological agents and how BioRisk can be of value to occupational hygiene professionals.
