Sanitation, Biosecurity & Controlled Movement
Three focused lessons move from the underlying decision model into worked examples, guided practice, and the module learning test.
Why this module matters
A cultivation facility can spread a biological problem faster than it discovers it. Workers, tools, carts, hose ends, containers, incoming plants, media, water and plant debris can move pests or pathogens. A technician who understands pathways helps protect the crop; a technician who treats sanitation as cosmetic cleaning can unintentionally connect every room into one contamination route.
