Description

The present booklet provides guidance on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of biological facilities. It is aimed primarily at architects, engineers and other construction industry professionals living and working in Southeast Asia but has much wider, universal application.

This guiding document is intended to provide a broad introduction to construction industry professionals and designers who may have no previous knowledge of designing or constructing biological facilities, but it could be valuable and informative also for project managers/directors and other members of a lab owner/operator team.

This CBRN resource has been produced within the framework of the EU CBRN CoE Project 46 ‘Enhancement of CBRN capacities of South East Asia in addressing CBRN risk mitigation concerning CBRN first response, biosafety and biosecurity, awareness raising and legal framework’
