Biological Safety Program
$25.00
Biological Safety establishes safe work practices for laboratory employees who handle or may be exposed to biological materials, potentially infectious agents, human blood or other potentially infectious materials, cultures, specimens, and biological waste. The program addresses hazard identification, risk assessment, containment, personal protective equipment, biological safety cabinets, safe handling and storage, labeling, decontamination, disinfection, sharps safety, and waste disposal.
Employees must understand the hazards associated with their work and follow established procedures to prevent exposure, contamination, spills, releases, and cross-contamination. Proper hand hygiene, appropriate PPE, safe use of laboratory equipment, effective housekeeping, and suitable containment methods are essential. Biological Safety also addresses spill response, exposure incidents, emergency procedures, employee training, and documentation to help protect laboratory personnel and maintain a safe working environment.
Description
The Biological Safety Program provides a framework for controlling exposure to biological materials and potentially infectious agents in laboratory environments. It establishes responsibilities for evaluating biological hazards, selecting appropriate containment measures, controlling access, maintaining safe work areas, and ensuring laboratory personnel receive training appropriate to the materials and procedures they perform.
The program addresses biological specimens and cultures, human blood and other potentially infectious materials, biological safety cabinets, containment practices, sharps and needlestick prevention, decontamination and disinfection, labeling and storage, biological waste, spill response, and occupational exposure incidents. It also addresses hand hygiene, PPE, housekeeping, transport of biological materials within the facility, emergency procedures, and documentation of required safety activities.
Provided in editable Microsoft Word format, the program can be customized for the biological materials, laboratory procedures, containment practices, equipment, and exposure hazards present in your workplace. Additional agent-specific, biosafety-level, or exposure-control procedures can be incorporated when required, allowing the program to be used as part of a comprehensive Laboratory Safety Manual or as a standalone biological safety program.
