Lab | Biorisk management Flashcards
Simple but powerful model managing biorisks
Assessment
Mitigation
Performance
containment principles, technologies, and practices implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their unintentional release.
Laboratory Biosafety
protection, control and accountability for valuable biological materials within laboratories, in order to prevent their unauthorized access, loss, theft, misuse, diversion or intentional release.
Laboratory Biosecurity
What is a biorisk (formula)
Biorisk= Biosafety + Biosecurity
Effective management of risks posed by working with infectious agents and toxins in the laboratory
Biorisk Management
includes the full spectrum of safety and security measures for laboratories, from standard operating procedures to physical measures to individual practices in the laboratory.
Biorisk Management
Key Components of Biorisk Management
Biorisk Assessment
Biorisk Mitigation
Performance
Process of identifying the hazards and
evaluating the risks associated with biological agents and toxins, taking into account the adequacy of any existing controls, and deciding whether or not the risks are acceptable.
Biorisk Assessment
Actions and control measures that are put into place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents and toxins
Biorisk Mitigation
The implementation of the entire biorisk management system, including evaluating and ensuring that the system is working the way it was designed
Performance
A set of interrelated elements used to establish policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives.
Management System
IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Top Management Commitment
Documentation and Document Control
Teamwork and Communication
Planning, Establishing Goals and Objectives
Training and Staff Awareness
System or process to control safety and security risks associated with the handling or storage and disposal of biological agents and toxins in laboratories and facilities
Laboratory Biorisk Management
Comprehensive framework for a biosafety and biosecurity (biorisk) program
