SUMMARY

The Good Microbiological Practices and Procedures (GMPP) Video Training Series is a series of seven videos that cover the essentials of GMPP. The seven topics are: 1. Personal protective equipment (PEE), 2. Pipettes, 3. Sharps, 4. Surface decontamination, 5. Autoclaves, 6. Workflow, 7. Transport. They also have a series on best practices for using a biosafety cabinet. The videos are published on the World Health Organization (WHO) Safeguarding biosafety and biosecurity in laboratories page and are available in English. 

WHO works to help Member States develop capacities to identify, store and securely handle dangerous biological agents and toxins according to international best practices. They aim to raise awareness for biosafety and biosecurity and help nations build their capacity through  guidance documents, tools, technical assistance, and resource mobilization. This includes supporting training on biological risk management, sharing best practices through workshops and meetings, providing regulatory framework, and ensuring biological agents are transported safely. This video series, when used in conjunction with other WHO resources such as the Laboratory Biosafety Manual, can ensure a safe laboratory environment.
