biosafety practices

Biosafety practices are procedures designed to prevent exposure to harmful biological agents, like bacteria, viruses, or other organisms, in labs or healthcare settings. They include using appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and masks, managing and disposing of waste safely, working within controlled environments like biosafety cabinets, and following strict protocols to prevent accidental release or infection. These practices protect workers, the community, and the environment by minimizing risks associated with handling potentially dangerous biological materials. Proper training and adherence to safety guidelines ensure a secure and responsible approach to working with biological substances.
