The Biosecurity Office has developed various tools that can help you increase biosecurity awareness. Besides an informative film, you can also think of floating racks for micro-centrifuge tubes, postcards and the 10 golden security rules. The Biosecurity Self-scan Toolkit and the Vulnerability Scan are online tools to analyze biosecurity vulnerabilities in your organization. The Dual-Use Quickscan is a tool with which you can identify potential dual-use aspects in research. In addition, this tool contributes to stimulating dual-use awareness.
Self-scan Toolkit
The self-scan toolkit is a relatively fast scan with a limited number of closed questions that can easily form an indication of strong and weak biosecurity aspects within your organisation.
