Abstract

Biosafety is of paramount importance in laboratories working with hazardous biological agents to prevent accidental exposures, protect laboratory personnel, and minimize the risk of releasing these agents into the environment. This research article provides an in-depth review of biosafety measures and best practices in laboratory containment. The article covers various aspects, including facility design, personal protective equipment (PPE), containment procedures, waste management, and risk assessment. By synthesizing current guidelines and research findings, this article aims to enhance the understanding and implementation of biosafety measures in research and diagnostic laboratories.
