Biological agents in the workplace – viruses, bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms – are hazards that are not always easy to spot, but they can have serious consequences for employees’ health. 

During the seminar, we will discuss what constitutes biological risk factors, how they are categorised, what impact they have on employees’ health, and what the employer’s responsibilities are when assessing them.

We will also discuss the prevention of infectious diseases in the workplace and the relevant legal requirements. We will provide practical examples and invite you to discuss and share your experiences.

The seminar is aimed at those who care about a safe working environment and wish to gain a clear understanding of how to manage risks associated with biological agents within their organisation.

The seminar will be led by Kamilė Linkutė, occupational risk specialist at UAB ‘SDG’, and Viktorija Serapinienė, occupational health specialist.
