About this Simulation. In the Biosafety simulation, you will be introduced to the concept of laboratory containment, which is a very special type of laboratory
Before Entering The Lab
If you don’t know which dangerous organism you’re working with, you still have to be careful and use the biosafety level lab that you believe is completely safe.
As each type requires different levels of safety (as we learned above) we’re going to focus on just one type in this guide: Biosafety level 3, also called BSL-3.
First of all, if you’re no.
Entering The Lab
Once you’re inside the lab, the first thing you should do is put gloves on.
If you’re going to be working with the cabinet, you should also wear oversleeves.
Once you’ve put them on you’re ready to work.
The 4 Hazard Groups
Before working with a potentially dangerous organism, you need to figure out which Hazard Group it belongs to.
Organisms are divided into four risk categories:.
1) Hazard Group 1: 1.1.
Organisms that are unlikely to cause disease.
2) Hazard Group 2: 2.1.
Organisms that can cause disease in humans 2.2.
The organisms pose a threat to people who are dir.
What does the Biosafety manual focus on?
While the rest of this manual primarily focuses on the technical and medical/scientific aspects of biosafety at the institutional level, it is important to begin by recognizing that national and international biosafety oversight may play an important role in influencing biosafety practices at the laboratory level.
Who should clean a Biosafety Level 3 laboratory?
Cleaning (domestic) services Biosafety Level 3 and Biosafety Level 4 laboratories should be cleaned by the laboratory staff.
Cleaning personnel should only enter Biosafety Level 3 or Biosafety Level 4 laboratories with clearance and supervision by the biosafety officer and/or the laboratory supervisor.
