Biosafety Containment<\/span><\/h1>[vc_column_text]Biosafety facilities handle or maintain risk-inherent microorganisms or organisms. Containment \u2013 a combination of facilities, practices, and procedures \u2013 is vital as it encompasses safe methods for working and managing the organisms and pathogens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Containment may vary and be different depending on the nature of work and organism involved, to ensure optimal protection to the researchers and the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Dept. of Biotechnology in India, the levels of containment shall be determined based upon key factors as described below:<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
FACTORS<\/strong><\/td>\nIMPORTANCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Physical containment<\/span><\/td>\nTo physically confine the organism under study to prevent or minimize its exposure to worker and environment ensuring the risk(s) can be prevented<\/span><\/p>\n

or mitigated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Procedures<\/b> provide the protection of personnel and the immediate laboratory environment from exposure to organisms,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Safety equipment<\/b> contributes to personnel protection either directly or indirectly from the hazardous biological material, the use of appropriate instruments, and\/or personal protective equipment (PPE),<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Facility design<\/b> is important in providing a barrier to protect not only to persons working in the facility, but also outside of the laboratory.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Biological containment<\/span><\/td>\nEmploying strategies that render an organism used for genetic engineering either incapable of survival in the open, or severely reduce its ability to survive, or reproduce in the open environment.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lab Monitoring<\/span><\/td>\nLaboratory monitoring is a systematic, regular, and preventive activity designed for corrective actions, if required.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Health & Medical Surveillance<\/span><\/td>\nTo prevent individuals from acquiring infection, early detection of infection, assessing the efficacy of protective equipment and procedures, and providing prophylactic vaccinations where needed.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Decontamination & Disposal<\/span><\/td>\nDecontamination and disposal in laboratories are closely interrelated acts since disinfection or sterilization constitute the first phase of disposal.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
