Biosafety levels (BSL) are used to identify the protective measures needed in a laboratory setting to protect workers, the environment, and the public. The levels are defined in Biosafety in Biomedical Laboratories (the BMBL)..
What does laboratory biosafety aim to do?
What is laboratory biosafety? “Laboratory biosafety” describes the use of biosafety principles and practices in laboratories to reduce the health-related risks associated with handling infectious agents, toxins and other biological hazards arising from an accidental exposure or unintentional release..
What is laboratory biosafety goal?
“Laboratory biosafety” describes the use of biosafety principles and practices in laboratories to reduce the health-related risks associated with handling infectious agents, toxins and other biological hazards arising from an accidental exposure or unintentional release..
At the end of the course participants will be able to: Identify potential hazardous biological materials and the risks associated with them. Select appropriate means to minimize risk and to protect against or prevent exposure.
The primary objective behind these biosafety measures is to keep a check on harmful biological agents, chemicals, radiation, etc. These biosafety measures have earned so much importance because of their benefits to public and environmental safety.
Laboratory biosafety practices are based on the principle of containment of biological agents to prevent exposure to laboratory workers and the outside environment. Primary containment protects the laboratory workers and the immediate laboratory environment from exposure to biological agents.
The goals of the Biological Safety Program, referenced in this manual as the Biosafety Program, are to protect laboratory workers, the public, and the environment from potentially hazardous biological agents.
The main goal of a biosafety program is to protect staff, the public, and the environment from exposure to infectious biological agents, toxins, and bioactive substances.
“Laboratory biosafety” describes the use of biosafety principles and practices in laboratories to reduce the health-related risks associated with handling infectious agents, toxins and other biological hazards arising from an accidental exposure or unintentional release.
What Do You Like to Do Outside of The Office?
I am a very active person. I play on a women's and co-ed soccer team with the Baton Rouge Soccer Club. I also like to run and ride my bike. In additional to those activities, I'm also an avid reader and I'm starting to get back into drawing.
Where Are You from originally?
I was born and raised in Texas. I spent most of my life in a small suburb just south of Houston, called Dickinson. When i graduated high school I came to LSU to pursue a Bachelors in Biological Sciences. It was then that I grew to love this city and campus and the reason that I now call Baton Rouge home.
American academic
Robert A. Brown is a chemical engineer and university administrator. He was the 10th president of Boston University and a former provost of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 1991, Brown was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering for the application of computing techniques to fundamental and practical problems in fluid mechanics, rheology, and crystal growth.

Disease resulting from low Vitamin A concentrations in the body
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) or hypovitaminosis A is a lack of vitamin A in blood and tissues. It is common in poorer countries, especially among children and women of reproductive age, but is rarely seen in more developed countries. Nyctalopia is one of the first signs of VAD, as the vitamin has a major role in phototransduction; but it is also the first symptom that is reversed when vitamin A is consumed again. Xerophthalmia, keratomalacia, and complete blindness can follow if the deficiency is more severe.
