Laboratory Biosafety Prototocols-Heat Disinfection & Sterilization

LABORATORY BIOSAFETY PROTOCOLS: The protocols emphasize the use of good microbiological work practices,  appropriate containment equipment, proper facility design, operation and maintenance, and administrative considerations to minimize the risk of worker injury or illness.  “Laboratory biosafety” is the term used to describe the containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release. “Laboratory biosafety” refers to institutional and personal security measures designed to prevent the loss, theft, misuse, diversion or intentional release of pathogens and toxins. MICROBIOLOGICAL RISKS: Pathogenicity of the agent and infectious dose. Potential outcome of exposure. Natural route of infection. Other routes of infection, resulting from laboratory manipulations (parenteral,  airborne, ingestion). ...
