Biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) is suitable for work with well-characterized agents which do not cause disease in healthy humans.
In general, these agents should pose minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment.
At this level, precautions are limited relative to other levels..
Biosafety Level 1 (BSL-1)
BSL-1 labs are used to study infectious agents or toxins not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adults.
They follow basic safety procedures, called Standard Microbiological Practices and require no special equipment or design features..
As part of this battle, biosecurity is of vital importance, since it is responsible for preventing risks to health and to the environment from exposure to biological agents that cause disease.
Biosafety is the name given to the rules and barriers established to prevent biological risk..
