Biosecurity Assessment Tool

A Biosecurity Assessment Tool is a structured process used to evaluate how well a facility or operation manages risks related to disease or pest introduction and spread. It identifies strengths and vulnerabilities in biosecurity practices, such as sanitation, access control, and protocols for handling animals or materials. The goal is to prevent harmful biological agents from entering or exiting the premises, ensuring safety for animals, humans, and the environment. By systematically assessing these measures, organizations can improve their biosecurity strategies, reduce potential outbreaks, and protect public and agricultural health.
