LABORATORY BIOSAFETY AND BIOSECURITY Flashcards
-Contain Principles, Technologies and practices
implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to
patogens and toxins, or their unintentional release
LABORATORY BIOSAFETY
“PROTECT THE WORKER FROM THE BAD BUGS.”
LABORATORY BIOSAFETY
-PROTECTION, CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
VALUABLE BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS WITHIN
LABORATORIES IN ORDER TO PREVENT
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, LOSS, THEFT, MISUSE,
DIVERSION O INTENTIONAL RELEASE
LABORATORY BIOSECURITY
“PROTECT THE BUGS FROM BAD WORKERS”.
LABORATORY BIOSECURITY
INFECTIONS (SYMPTOMATIC /
ASYMPTOMATIC)
LABORATORY ACQUIRED INFECTIONS (LAI)
▪ ACQUIRED THROUGH LABORATORY RELATED ACTIVITIES AS A RESULT OF WORKING WITH
INFECTIOUS AGENTS
LABORATORY ACQUIRED INFECTIONS (LAI)▪
Cause of laboratory exposure
20% → EQUIPMENT FAILURE
80% → HUMAN FACTORS
TOP ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN INFECTION
Needle stick injury
- Biohazard spillage

Camp Detrick was
designated a permanent installation for biological
research and development.
After the Second World War,
inherent component of biological

one of the pioneers in developing biosafety
measures after the Second World War
A.G. Wedum, MD (Arnold)
evaluated the risks of handling hazardous
biological agents and developed practices,
