In recent years, numerous emerging and reemerging infectious diseases have occurred worldwide and have seriously threatened our society. As a countermeasure against the pathogens responsible for serious diseases (classified as class 4 pathogens), we are preparing for full operation of the first suit-type biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) facility available for basic and applied research at Nagasaki University. For the safe operation of these facilities, experienced and qualified personnel with appropriate skills and knowledge of biorisk management must be certified. Developing an appropriate training system is a prerequisite for ensuring the safety of users involved in research in a BSL-4 laboratory. Here, we introduce an overview of the content of the training program that we are currently establishing for the BSL-4 facility at Nagasaki University. We are designing this program to follow national and international guidelines and regulations in part by referring to experiences and materials derived from multiple BSL-4 facilities in other countries. The established training program system, including the formulation processes, will serve as a reference and will provide practical materials for other research organizations to develop their own high-containment laboratory training programs.
近年来，全球出现了许多新出现和重新出现的传染病，严重威胁着我们的社会。作为应对导致严重疾病的病原体（列为4类病原体）的一项对策，我们正在筹备长崎大学首个可供基础研究和应用研究使用的防护服型生物安全4级（BSL-4）设施的全面运营。为确保这些设施的安全运行，必须对具有生物风险管理适当技能和知识的经验丰富且资质合格的人员进行认证。开发适当的培训系统是确保参与BSL-4实验室研究的人员安全的先决条件。在此，我们介绍我们目前正在为长崎大学的BSL-4设施制定的培训计划内容概述。我们设计该计划时部分参考了其他国家多个BSL-4设施的经验和资料，以遵循国家和国际准则及法规。已建立的培训计划系统，包括制定过程，将为其他研究机构制定自己的高防护实验室培训计划提供参考和实用材料。
