Biosafety

Welcome to Labster’s Biosafety Level III Simulation!

Here, you will be learning how a Biosafety Level III Lab - BSL 3 - works, and what it is used for. In the UK, BSL-3 labs are referred to as Containment Level 3 - CL 3 - labs.

You will be able to find all the related theory needed to complete the course in the theory pages listed below.

Good luck and have fun!
