biorisk management

Biorisk management involves systematically identifying, assessing, and controlling biological hazards—such as pathogens, viruses, or toxins—to prevent accidental or intentional harm to people, animals, and the environment. It includes implementing safety protocols, proper handling, storage, and disposal of biological materials, and training personnel to reduce risks. The goal is to ensure that biological research and applications are conducted responsibly, minimizing the chance of infections, outbreaks, or biological threats, while enabling scientific progress in a safe and secure manner.
