JICA and IPB University conducted Technical Training on Biorisk Management
Bogor, 10th-14th January 2022

The 5-day Biorisk management training was jointly organized by JICA and IPB University to enhance technical capacity of 20 scientists in laboratories of Badan POM[1]. 13 speakers and instructors from IPB University, University of Indonesia, Ministry of Agriculture, and Ministry of Health were involved in the programme. All speakers are IFBA certified professionals in biorisk management in Indonesia.

This programme provided a comprehensive set of lectures and practical group exercises on biosafety and biorisk assessment/management in BSL laboratories. And various demonstrations and practices on PPE and personal hygiene and on bio-spill disinfection, including table-top exercises on laboratory incident, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) developments, and BSL3 laboratory visit.

In formulating the programme content, JICA duly consulted with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Primate Research Center of IPB University and Biosafety Control and Research Division of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Japan, to accommodate necessary subject matters for intermediate/advance level scientists involved in COVID-19 testing and those who are working in BSL2/3 laboratories.

The knowledge and experience gained in this programme will be used to improve the technical skills and management systems of the laboratories in terms of protection of laboratory scientists and the prevention of infectious agents to surrounding environments, through implementing safety procedures.

Lecturers reiterated the importance on this type of programme to be regularly implemented for laboratory scientists aimed at developing a better biorisk management system in Indonesia. It is essential to develop guidelines and policies on biorisk management systems in laboratories, expected to ensure wide use and adapting the concept of biosafety and biosecurity for the coherent implementation of laboratory work.

Research and studies on infectious diseases derived from wildlife and environment require using the BSL2/3 laboratories. JICA has a long experience in working with IPB University and has constructed the BSL 3 laboratory in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine through JICA/JST SATREP programmes in 2015 - 2020.

JICA will continue its cooperation in this field as strengthening laboratory analysis, recognizing that analytical capacity in the public health sectors is essential to ensure prevention of health risks arising from hazardous biological agents including SARS-CoV-2 for COVID-19.
