Category A are the higher risk pathogens. To view a complete list of Category A pathogens see our Infectious Substance course.

Are any additional training courses required?
- Function Specific Training - If you are just preparing shipments of UN 3373 "Biological Substances, Category B" then this training should be sufficient Ultimately (in the United States) your employer has final responsibility for determining if a hazmat employee is properly trained for their particular job function. Since there is a potential for limitless types of job functions as determined by an individual employer, we as your training provider can only suggest what types of additional training might be required.
- Important note about Dry Ice - If you ship your specimens using more than 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) per package of dry ice, we recommend you take the full Infectious Substance course or you will also be required to take the additional Dry Ice and hazmat security awareness training courses.
