Pathogen Safety Data Sheets and Risk Assessment

Pathogen Safety Data Sheets (PSDSs) (previously titled Material Safety Data Sheets for infectious substances) are technical documents that describe the hazardous properties of a human pathogen and recommendations for work involving these agents in a laboratory setting. These documents have been produced by the Public Health Agency of Canada as educational and informational resources for laboratory personnel working with these infectious substances. Please note that work involving pathogens in Canada may require compliance with International, National, and Provincial laws and guidelines. Data from this wesite: www.phac-aspc.gc.ca
