Biosafety + Biosecurity = Biorisk management
Whereas biosafety aims at protecting public health and environment from accidental exposure to biological agents, biosecurity deals with the prevention of misuse through loss, theft, diversion or intentional release of pathogens, toxins and any other biological materials.
As a result, WHO has recently witnessed a worldwide increase in the demand for biosafety guidance and support that culminated in 2005 with the adoption by the
Biosafety + Biosecurity = Biorisk management
It is considered that biosafety and biosecurity are complementary to address biorisk issues. With time biosecurity has become associated with biosafety to form the contemporary approach of “biorisk management”.
