ENDTERM PART 2 Flashcards
The set of containment principles, technologies and practices that
are implemented to prevent the
unintentional exposure to
biological agents and toxins, or
their accidental release
Laboratory Biosafety
The set of measures aimed at the
protection, control and
accountability for valuable
biological materials
Laboratory Biosecurity
protection of other valuable
items within laboratories, in
order to prevent their loss, theft, misuse, diversion of, and/or
unauthorized access or
intentional unauthorized release
Laboratory Biosecurity
Actions and control measures
that are put into place to reduce
or eliminate the risks associated
with biological agents and toxins
and other Valuable Laboratory
Material (VLM)
Biorisk Mitigation
Focus is on Laboratory Biorisk
Management
CWA 15793
Offers mechanism where
stakeholders can develop
consensus standards and
requirements in an open access
CWA 15793
Can be applied to international
stakeholders but do not have the
force of regulation while
conformity is voluntary
CWA 15793
Ensure adequate level of
protection in safe transfer, handling, & use of LMOs resulting
from modern biotechnology

National Biosafety Framework (NBF)
A combination of policy,
legal, administrative, &
technical instruments
developed to attain the
objective of the Cartagena

DOH with NCBP formulated
guidelines in the assessment of
the impacts on health posed by
modern biotechnology and its
applications

To set policies on the importation
& release of plants & plant products derived from modern
biotechnology
AD 8 by Dept of Agriculture
The guidelines aid in evaluating &
monitoring processed food
derived from or containing GMO
AD 8 by Dept of Agriculture
Requires laboratories to ensure
guidelines on policy on
laboratory biosafety &
biosecurity
DOH AO 2007 - 0027
Promotes biosafety as scientific
discipline & provides guidance to
its members on the regulatory
regime present in North America
American Biological Safety
Association (ABSA) - 1984
To directly contribute to the
development of the best
biosafety practices
Asia-Pacific Biosafety Association
(A-PBA) - 2005
Aims to provide a forum for
discussions & debates on issues
of concern & to represent those
working in the field of biosafety
European Biological Safety
Association (EBSA) - 1996
Created by the health &
education sectors & executive,
legislative, & judicial branches of
the govt
Phil Biosafety & Biosecurity
Association (PhBBA)
Assisted DA & DOH to create a
national policy & implement plan
for laboratory biosafety &
biosecurity
Phil Biosafety & Biosecurity
Association (PhBBA)
Works to serve the emergent
concerns of biological risk
management in various
professional fields
Biological Risk Association Phil (BRAP)
Includes microorganisms that are
unlikely to cause human or
animal disease
Risk Group 1
They bring about low individual &
community risk
Risk Group 1
