Charpter 9. Laboratory biosecurity concepts
The laboratory biosafety manual has in the past focused on traditional biosafety guidance for laboratories The manual emphasizes the use of good microbiological work practices, appropriate containment equipment, proper facility design, operation and maintenance, and administrative considerations to minimize the risk of worker injury or illness In following these recommendations, the risk to the environment and surrounding community-at-large is also minimized

It has now become necessary to expand this traditional approach to biosafety through the introduction of laboratory biosecurity measures Global events in the recent past have highlighted the need to protect laboratories and the materials they contain from being intentionally compromised in ways that may harm people, livestock, agriculture or the environment

Before the laboratory biosecurity needs of a facility can be defined, however, it is important to understand the distinction between laboratory biosafety? and"laboratory biosecurity
Before the laboratory biosecurity needs of a facility can be defined, however, it is important to understand the distinction between “laboratory biosafety” and “laboratory biosecurity
Laboratory biosafety is the term used to describe the containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release. " Laboratory biosecurity? refers to institutional and personal security measures designed to prevent the loss, theft, misuse, diversions or intentional release of pathogens and toxins
“Laboratory biosafety” is the term used to describe the containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release. “Laboratory biosecurity” refers to institutional and personal security measures designed to prevent the loss, theft, misuse, diversion转移 or intentional release of pathogens and toxins
Effective biosafety practices are the very foundation of laboratory biosecurity activities. Through risk assessments, performed as an integral part of an institution's biosafe programme, information is gathered regarding the type of organisms available, their physical location, the personnel who require access to them, and the identification of those responsible for them

This information can be used to assess whether an institution possesses biological materials that are attractive to those who may wish to use them improperly. National standards should be developed that recognize and address the ongoing responsibility of countries and institutions to protect specimens, pathogens and toxins from misuse

A specific laboratory biosecurity programme must be prepared and implemented for each facility according to the requirements of the facility, the type of laboratory work conducted, and the local conditions

Consequently, laboratory biosecurity activities should be representative of the institutions various needs and should include input from scientific directors, principal investigators, biosafety officers, laboratory scientific staff, maintenance staff. administrators, information technology staff, and law enforcement agencies and security staff if appropriate

Laboratory biosecurity measures should be based on a comprehensive programme of accountability for pathogens and toxins that includes an updated inventory with storage location, identification of personnel with access, description of use, documentation of internal and external transfers within and between facilities, and any inactivation and/or disposal of the materials
