Field biosafety

  • What field is biosafety related to?

    Biosafety is related to several fields: In ecology (referring to imported life forms from beyond ecoregion borders), In agriculture (reducing the risk of alien viral or transgenic genes, genetic engineering or prions such as BSE/"MadCow", reducing the risk of food bacterial contamination).

Biosafety is used to protect from harmful incidents. Many laboratories handling biohazards employ an ongoing risk management assessment and enforcement process for biosafety. Failures to follow such protocols can lead to increased risk of exposure to biohazards or pathogens.
Field Biosafety Review. Review Question: What are three things (there may be more) that are different between laboratory biosafety and field biosafety? Slide 41 
In this field, biosafety deals with plant diseases, animal infestations and diseases, zoonoses — diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans — genetically modified organisms and their products, and management of genotypes and invasive species.
Slide 7 Page 8 Field Biosafety In the field, some elements of the Hierarchy of Controls are likely to be more important than others.
This section of the website is devoted to biological safety topics and resources related to studies involving field research.

What biosafety risks should be considered?

Biosafety risks to be considered should include:Transportation of biohazards (See below for shipping and transport information) Containment of biohazards in the field (i.e. measure to prevent a biohazard release) Other hazards that can affect your research (i.e. visitors, security, proper training) .

What should be included in a biosafety research project?

Focus areas will include:

  • risk assessment (general factors to consider for both the research and the environment)
  • medical surveillance and emergency response
  • special considerations for field research (PPE
  • training
  • work practices
  • decontamination
  • and waste management)
  • and finally
  • legal and ethical issues relating to biosafety.

    • Why should biosafety professionals review field research?

    On consideration of these factors, biosafety professionals reviewing field research should be able to identify hazards, assess risks, establish prevention strategies, train personnel, and advise on personnel protection strategies as it relates to not only bat field research, but also general field research with animals.
