Beskrivning
The World Health Organisation (WHO) Laboratory biosecurity guidance is meant to enhance the protection of laboratory operations against biosecurity threats.
The publication aims to provide guidance on ways to work safely and securely with high-consequence material and biosecurity-relevant material, and how to build capacity at institutional and national levels to address biological risks. A focus of the Laboratory biosecurity guidance is the biosecurity risk assessment, the strengthening of the review function of the institutional biosafety committees and the proposal of a two-tier system of national oversight.
The EU CBRN CoE supported the Guidance’s development with contributions from Dr Sabai Phyu, On-Site Technical Assistance expert for the Southeast Asia Regional Secretariat, as member of the WHO technical advisory group on biosafety.
