Message for all Pathogen Safety Data Sheet fans

Pathogen Safety Data Sheets are technical documents that describe the hazardous properties of a human pathogen and provide recommendations for work involving these agents in a laboratory setting. They have been produced by the Public Health Agency of Canada, on a voluntary basis, as educational and information resources for laboratory personnel working with infectious substances.

Over the last 18 months, several Pathogen Safety Data Sheet updates and additions have been made available! Remember to check the Pathogen Safety Data Sheets website regularly to find the most up-to-date versions. If you’re a Pathogen Safety Data Sheet App user, you must update the app regularly to benefit from the up-to-date Pathogen Safety Data Sheets.
