Biosafety
Biosafety refers to the set of practices, safety equipment, and specially designed facilities aimed at protecting individuals, communities, and the environment from accidental exposure to infectious agents, toxins, and other biological hazards. It encompasses the prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing on ecology and human health. Biosafety programs are implemented in various laboratory settings to identify biological hazards, evaluate associated health risks, and reduce these risks through the use of specific practices and principles. The concept of biosafety is crucial in preventing the unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, as well as their accidental release, and it is essential in the fight against pandemics and the protection of human, animal, and plant life, as well as the environment.
