Introduction to Biosafety and
Biosecurity
Biosafety
 Containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to
prevent unintentional exposure to biological agents or their inadvertent
release.

Biosecurity
 Containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to
prevent intentional release or misuse of pathogens.
Biorisk

 Effect of uncertainty expressed by the combination of the consequences of an

event and the associated “likelihood” of occurrence where biological material
is the source of harm.
Hierarchy of Controls
Primary Control of Biosafety
 Engineering Control
 Facility design (including traffic flow, air filter system,
security)
 Equipment (Biosafety Cabinets, HEPA Filters, Autoclaves,)
 Administrative
 Trainings, Background Check, Surveillance, SOP Validation
and Compliance, SOP Development and
 SOPs: Waste Disposal, Sterilization and Decontamination,
Spill, Medical Emergency, Specific lab procedures, GMPP
 PPE
 Gloves, Eye Protection, Lab Gowns, facemask/respirators,
head cover, coverall,
8 Pillars of Biosecurity

 Physical Security
 Personnel Reliability
 Material Control and Accountability
 Transport Security
 Information Security
 Awareness
 Emergency Response
 Management
Primary Control of
Biosecurity
