BIOLOGICAL SAFETY IN THE ANIMAL LABORATORY

Abstract

Biological hazards for animal room personnel can be controlled through vaccination, the use of correct techniques, the use of safety apparatus, the design of laboratories, and by certain management functions related to selecting, training, and supervising personnel. Selection of the approaches to the laboratory safety program is a matter to be decided by each laboratory director. Proper application of these approaches should contribute to over-all control of laboratory environment and to the ability of the animal laboratory to perform its function efficiently and without interruption.
