Since the ultimate aim is to eliminate or minimise biological contamination, there are three important concepts in the field of biosecurity:
Biological hazard: is the potential risk of uncontrolled exposure to biological agents with infectious capacity, harming the individual.
Biocontainment: are measures used to prevent infectious diseases from leaking from research centres of other places where they may be produced.
Bioprotection: is a set of measures taken to reduce the risk of loss, theft, misuse or intentional release of pathogens and toxins, including those governing access to facilities, materials storage and data and publication policies.
We have developed our laboratories significantly since the introduction of the biosafety program into our laboratories, and we have succeeded in overcoming many challenges, including:
Laboratory Policies, Manual Handbook, SOPs, Risk Assessments, MSDS, PSDS, Laboratory Biosafety Program, Biosecurity Plan, Emergency Plan, Emergency Codes, Fire Code and Drills, Emergency Plan, Chemical Inventory, Occurrence Variance Report (OVR), Training Logbook, Rejected Criteria, Critical Value, TAT, STAT, Spill Kit, First Aid Kit, Competency Test, New Employees Orientation.
