Biological hazard safety
WARNING! BIOHAZARD. Biological samples such as tissues, body uids,
infectious agents, and blood of humans and other animals have the potential to
transmit infectious diseases. Conduct all work in properly equipped facilities
with the appropriate safety equipment (for example, physical containment
devices). Safety equipment can also include items for personal protection, such
as gloves, coats, gowns, shoe covers, boots, respirators, face shields, safety
glasses, or goggles. Individuals should be trained according to applicable
regulatory and company/ institution requirements before working with
potentially biohazardous materials. Follow all applicable local, state/provincial,
and/or national regulations. The following references provide general
guidelines when handling biological samples in laboratory environment.
