Posted By David F Spencer Does anyone have a good COSHH data sheet for micro-organisms, (or even microorganisms), please? Google offers both spellings, but doesn't help much.

Posted By Ali I've nver come across a H&S data sheet for microorganisms. However, I'm an ex Microbiologist, so maybe you can say what exact bacteria / virus / parasite etc you are looking at ?

Posted By Ian Blenkharn There si no such thing. Biology is far too complex to complie a simple short list of risks and remedies - it depends on what micro-organimss you may be concerned about, how many and in what environment, who might be exposed and how, ...... Maybe you need specialits advice Ian

Posted By Pugwash David Try this http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/msds-ftss/index.html It is a set of safety data sheets for infectious substances produced by the Public Health Agency of Canada. It is a good starting point for finding out about harmful bugs.
