BIOSAFETY IS: Biosafety are safety measures taken with
respect to the effects of biological research on humans, animals, plants & the environment.
Any thing or environment referred to as Biohazard means it is a biological agent or condition that constitutes a hazard to humans, animal, plants or the environment.

A FOCUS ON THE LABORATORY Laboratory Biosafety
A set of preventive measures designed to reduce the risk of accidental exposure to or release of a biological agent
Laboratory Biosecurity A set of preventive measures to reduce the risk
of intentional removal(theft) and misuse of a biological agent– intent to cause harm
Fundamentally there are risks to working with pathogens and toxins

Collection, transport & manipulation
Any biological sample may be infectiousand therefore presents a hazard to anyperson handling
during collection during transport during opening and proceeding

BIOSAFETY LEVELS Biosafety Level is a level of laboratory
Biosafety also called biocontainment precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in an enclosed facility.
The levels of containment range from the lowest Biosafety level 1 to the highest at level 4. The greater the level the more precautions & care if required for biocontainment.

CONT….
Use safety cups whenever possible Disinfect weekly and after all spills or
breakages Lubricate O- rings and rotor threads weekly Do not use rotors that have been dropped
![Page 46: Bio Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/55cf8f18550346703b98e990/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Check tubes for cracks/ chips. Use matched sets of tubes, buckets
etc. Tightly seal all tubes and safety cups. Ensure that rotor is locked to spindle
and bucket seated. Close lid during operation. Allow to come to complete stop before
opening.

PROTECT YOURSELF
Universal Precautions TREAT ALL BLOOD AND BODY FLUIDS AS
POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS. Skin protects from pathogens - cuts, dermatitis,
chapping, small cracks allow germs to enter the body
First aid - use gloves, have as little contact as possible with blood or body fluids
Wash hands with antibacterial soap after contact After contact, flush eyes and face with fresh water
for several minutes
![Page 49: Bio Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/55cf8f18550346703b98e990/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
CLEAN-UP AND SAFE HOUSEKEEPING
After an accident, the entire area must be cleaned with disinfectant
Cleaning equipment must be disinfected Wear gloves while cleaning, apron or
goggles if appropriate Restrict access to the area Use disposable towels - dispose of
properly
![Page 50: Bio Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/55cf8f18550346703b98e990/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
OTHER EXPOSURE HAZARDS
Cleaning surfaces contaminated with blood,body fluids
ALWAYS wear gloves and protective apron or clothing Be alert for sharp objects, broken glassware, used
syringes in trash Do not pick up broken glass - use brush or broom &
dustpan Dispose of glass, sharp objects safely Laundry - bloody or contaminated linens or sharp
objects
![Page 51: Bio Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/55cf8f18550346703b98e990/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
COMMON SENSE RULES
Wash hands & remove protective clothing before eating, drinking, smoking, handling contact lenses, applying lip balm or cosmetics
Keep hands away from eyes, nose, mouth while cleaning
Frequent hand washing is best defense against spreading infection
![Page 52: Bio Safety](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/55cf8f18550346703b98e990/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
SUMMARY Protect yourself on and off the
Laboratory- know the facts Practice good personal hygiene Follow work rules, use gloves and
protective clothing Wash your hands often, after work or
exposure Keep areas clean - report problems
immediately to supervisors
