Bio2ic Providing leading advice on Bio safety (Biological Safety)

The key principle of Biological Safety ("biosafety") is the protection of workers from the hazards created by working with microorganisms. This is achieved by the implementation of safe laboratory operating procedures. We can assist in the attainment of this goal by the provision of training and advice on:

Aerosols - their generation in the laboratory and how to protect against them
The different types of Biological Safety Cabinets and related devices and how to use them correctly - view DVD cover
Hazardous laboratory procedures
Correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), particularly respiratory protection
Risk Groups of microorganisms and what is required to work safely with each group
Gene Technology work
Decontamination, disinfection, treatment and disposal of microbiological waste
Handling microbiological incidents
Working safely with human tissues and body fluids
Safe handling of animals, including Laboratory Animal Allergies
