What is biosafety and biosecurityWhy we need Levels of biosafetyBiosafety cabinet types

• Bacteria • Viruses • Fungi• Human blood, unfixed tissue

• Human cell lines• Recombinant DNA

BIOSAFETY: Preventing lab-acquired infections

Page 5: Lab biosafety and biosecurity

Biosafety is the application of safety precautions that reduce a laboratorians risk of exposure to a potentially infectious material and limit contamination of the work environment and ultimately the community { CDC }

Page 6: Lab biosafety and biosecurity

Why we need biosafety ????

1. Lab has hazards of processing infectious agents

2. Accidental threat to workers and environment

3. To have adherence with safety regulations while dealing with highly infectious agents

WORKING SAFELY IN A BSC

Before using the cabinet: Ensure BSC is certified Turn off UV lamp; turn on fluorescent lamp Disinfect work surfaces with appropriate disinfectant Place essential items inside cabinet Allow the blower to run for 5-10 min before work

Page 23: Lab biosafety and biosecurity

After using the cabinet: Leave blower on at least 5 minutes to purge cabinet Remove and decontaminate equipment and materials Disinfect cabinet surfaces Turn off blower and fluorescent lamp, turn on UV lamp

WORKING SAFELY IN A BSC

Page 24: Lab biosafety and biosecurity

Introduction • Biosafety cabinets (BSCs) are primary means of containment, developed for working safely with infectious micro-organisms

Page 25: Lab biosafety and biosecurity

• HEPA – High efficiency particulate air filter

• It removes the most penetrating particle size (MPPS) of 0.3 μm with an efficiency of at least 99.97 %
