Study Notes

Biosafety and Biosecurity

The primary purpose of biosafety barriers in a laboratory is to prevent the exposure of laboratory workers, the environment, and the community to biological agents that may cause infection or other adverse effects.

Biosecurity

Biosecurity primarily aims to prevent the theft, diversion, or intentional misuse of biological agents or toxins that could be used as bioterrorism agents.

Biorisk

Biorisk encompasses both biosafety (risks to humans and the environment) and biosecurity (risks of intentional misuse) aspects of biological agents.

Personnel as Biosafety Barriers

Personnel play a critical role as a biosafety barrier by following laboratory protocols, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), and adhering to standard operating procedures to prevent exposure to biological agents.

Laboratory Biosafety Levels (BSL)

Laboratory biosafety levels (BSL) standards primarily address the physical containment and safety requirements for working with biological agents, ranging from BSL-1 (lowest risk) to BSL-4 (highest risk).
