Download or read book Handbook of Laboratory Biorisk Management written by Reynolds M. Salerno and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing risk of naturally occurring and intentionally introduced infectious disease makes the existing approaches to laboratory biosafety and biosecurity no longer adequate. Biorisk management emphasizes the need for a comprehensive, laboratory-specific method to simultaneously reduce both the safety and security risks associated with biological agents in a laboratory. This volume introduces this new field and explains how to implement it. The book sets the stage for a radically different understanding of how to reduce the risks of working with biological agents in laboratories, based on a new paradigm of assessment, mitigation, and performance (the AMP model).

Download or read book Laboratory Biorisk Management written by Reynolds M. Salerno and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades bioscience facilities worldwide have experienced multiple safety and security incidents, including many notable incidents at so-called sophisticated facilities in North America and Western Europe. This demonstrates that a system based solely on biosafety levels and security regulations may not be sufficient. Setting the stage for a substantively different approach for managing the risks of working with biological agents in laboratories, Laboratory Biorisk Management: Biosafety and Biosecurity introduces the concept of biorisk management--a new paradigm that encompasses both laboratory biosafety and biosecurity. The book also provides laboratory managers and directors with the information and technical tools needed for its implementation. The basis for this new paradigm is a three-pronged, multi-disciplinary model of assessment, mitigation, and performance (the AMP model). The application of the methodologies, criteria, and guidance outlined in the book helps to reduce the risk of laboratories becoming the sources of infectious disease outbreaks. This is a valuable resource for those seeking to embrace and implement biorisk management systems in their facilities and operations, including the biological research, clinical diagnostic, and production/manufacturing communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Laboratory biosecurity guidance is a revision of the first edition of the WHO Biorisk management - Laboratory biosecurity guidance, 2006. As introduced in the 4th edition of the Laboratory biosafety manual (LBM4), the novel risk- and evidence-based approach is applied for biosecurity in this guidance. The guidance is intended to help researchers, biosafety/biosecurity officers and other laboratory personnel properly assess and manage risks inherent to high-consequence research. Furthermore, it contains a template for biosecurity risk assessment in the laboratory to prevent theft, misuse and unauthorized access to biological material, and also includes a two-tier approach for national oversight of biological risk management as well as a hybrid approach with risk- and list-based elements to regulate high-consequence material.

Download or read book Biological Laboratory Applied Biosecurity and Biorisk Managemnet Guide written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY APPLIED BIOSECURITY AND BIORISK MANAGEMENT GUIDE is a definitive and comprehensive tutorial text that, for the first time, provides a specific reference for training Biorisk and Biosecurity students or other biological community professionals. The topics included range from a clear, concise definition of Biorisk from a laboratory biosecurity perspective, biosafety/biosecurity comparisons and contracts, U.S. and WHO regulations and guidance, a unique laboratory biorisk assessment model, bio-terrorism reality, public health issues, research topics, laboratory physical security, emergency planning, export control and conducting business in foreign countries among other germane topics of interest.The cascading events in the aftermath of 9/11/2001, and the biological attacks that immediately followed have given rise to a significant proliferation of biological laboratories working with dangerous pathogens both domestically and internationally. The quest to develop effective medical countermeasures, conduct research, and provide safe and secure laboratory environments has also resulted in significant increases in funding. The expansion of this capacity has also resulted in the creation of a myriad of legislation, regulations and guidelines that are designed to protect laboratory staff, the public and ensure that these pathogens are properly secured. Ultimately, the convergence of these issues has contributed to the emergence of a new security subject matter expert category, Biological Security Professional. Currently there exists very few security management professionals specifically trained in biological security and biorisk management, to meet the needs and demand world-wide. The intent of this manual is to provide the fundamental information for new security practitioners just entering the field and the more experienced professional that is seeking to transition into the field of biological laboratory security and biorisk management. There is compelling evidence suggesting that the need for the biosecurity specialty subject matter expert will continue to grow exponentially in the near and long term, throughout the world. The ultimate goal is to assist in the proliferation of One Health world-wide and to create a professional discipline to prevent and mitigate the full spectrum of biological risks, threats and vulnerabilities

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological safety and biosecurity protocols are essential to the reputation and responsibility of every scientific institution, whether research, academic, or production. Every risk—no matter how small—must be considered, assessed, and properly mitigated. If the science isn't safe, it isn't good. Now in its fifth edition, Biological safety: Principles and Practices remains the most comprehensive biosafety reference. Led by editors Karen Byers and Dawn Wooley, a team of expert contributors have outlined the technical nuts and bolts of biosafety and biosecurity within these pages. This book presents the guiding principles of laboratory safety, including: the identification, assessment, and control of the broad variety of risks encountered in the lab; the production facility; and, the classroom. Specifically, Biological Safety covers protection and control elements—from biosafety level cabinets and personal protection systems to strategies and decontamination methods administrative concerns in biorisk management, including regulations, guidelines, and compliance various aspects of risk assessment covering bacterial pathogens, viral agents, mycotic agents, protozoa and helminths, gene transfer vectors, zooonotic agents, allergens, toxins, and molecular agents as well as decontamination, aerobiology, occupational medicine, and training A resource for biosafety professionals, instructors, and those who work with pathogenic agents in any capacity, Biological safety is also a critical reference for laboratory managers, and those responsible for managing biohazards in a range of settings, including basic and agricultural research, clinical laboratories, the vivarium, field study, insectories, and greenhouses.
