Problem Scenario
Your laboratory is specialized in virology. There has been an important epidemic of H5N1 in your country and the Ministry of Health has asked you to be the referent laboratory for this pathology. What must you do to ensure biosafety in your laboratory?

Learning Objectives
At the end of this activity, you will be able to: Discuss the importance of laboratory design Know what, where and when the risks are Discuss the importance of using appropriate
biosafety equipment Describe the four biosafety levels Outline factors that need to be considered
when assessing risk Keep appropriate biosafety documentation

Using appropriate biosafety equipmentEach and every Biological sample is potentially infectious
It is a risk for every person who will handle it
During samplingDuring transport
At the openingDuring handling in the laboratory
![Page 44: LABORATORY FACILITIES AND SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813342550346895d9a3909/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

45
Precautions during sample collection
Protect collector, colleague, staff... wear gloves, coat, (mask, glasses)
VHF: double gloves, filter-masks, boots
dispose needles in special containers, without re-capping, disinfection (sodium hypochlorite 2.5%), incineration
clean working surfaces (hypochlorite) decontaminate material (hypochlorite
10%)
![Page 46: LABORATORY FACILITIES AND SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813342550346895d9a3909/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
During sample collection Consider each sample as infectious
Clean outer tube with 10% diluted household bleach (chlorine)
Wear gloves (two layers) Wear lab coat, mask and protective glasses, Use evacuated tubes (vacutainers) for blood sampling
Organize and disinfect bench space with Chlorine 10% followed by wash with 70% alcohol Clean spills with Chlorine 10% Decontamination of equipment by Soaking in
Chlorine10%
![Page 47: LABORATORY FACILITIES AND SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813342550346895d9a3909/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Preparation and handling of samples Opening under Biosafety Cabinet Use paper or cotton soaked with ethanol 70% to
handle the cap when opening the tube (this will stop contamination by liquid droplets)
Centrifuge at low speed before opening if liquid is spread all over the tube: check the centrifuge before, balance the tube and use capped buckets.
Never use glass pipets for handling the specimens. No mouth pipetting allowed If viruses are involved, freeze the aliquots as soon
and as cold as possible. For bacteriology keep samples at room temperature
![Page 48: LABORATORY FACILITIES AND SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813342550346895d9a3909/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

In all diagnostic and health-care laboratories;
Sharp containers

![Page 65: LABORATORY FACILITIES AND SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813342550346895d9a3909/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Risk
Risk of infection is defined as chance of exposure to hazard or exposure to chance of injury
Risk of infection may be quantitative or qualitative
Laboratory Director’s responsibility
![Page 66: LABORATORY FACILITIES AND SAFETY](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813342550346895d9a3909/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
66
Criteria for risk assessment Pathogenicity (the ability to cause disease) and
disease severity Infectious dose (lower the dose, the higher the
hazard) Transmission (the importance of aerosols) and
agent stability in the environment Volume and concentration (risk increases) Laboratory activity planned, including potential
genetic manipulation Presence of suitable host Prophylaxis (local availability of vaccine or
treatment) and medical surveillance

If limited information on agent or specimen
Use standard precautions Use basic containment - BSL 2 Follow national/international regulations
for transport Assess medical data Get epidemiological data Determine geographical origin of agent

Awareness, Training, Vigilance
Awareness – Advise workers of possible exposures, safeguards and responsibilities
Training – Inform workers of hazards of their work, and use of appropriate practices, techniques and procedures
Vigilance – Maintain vigilance to guard against safety procedure compromise or errors.
