Lesson 6 Flashcards
Is limiting the agent/pathogen’s access to people
Laboratory Biosafety
The containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent the unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release.
Laboratory Biosafety
The 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
Is limiting people’s access to the agent/pathogen.
