biological safety

Biological safety refers to practices, measures, and equipment designed to protect people, animals, and the environment from harmful biological agents, such as viruses, bacteria, and toxins. It is especially important in laboratories, healthcare settings, and industries that handle infectious materials. This involves using containment measures like safety equipment, proper waste disposal, and protocols to minimize exposure risks. The goal is to prevent accidental release or exposure to these agents, ensuring the safety of both workers and the public, while also maintaining scientific progress and research integrity.
