FAO is developing a website aiming to provide access to a collection of training materials on biosafety. The different biosafety issues covered include recombinant DNA laboratory safety; biosafety and containment issues for GMO research in greenhouses; assessing GMOs and the effects of introducing a GMO into the environment. The multi-lingual training materials are categorised as manuals, guidelines, reports, toolkits, cd-roms or websites. See http://www.fao.org/sd/2003/biosafety/index.htm.
