Laboratory Biosafety Guidelines

Laboratory Biosafety Guidelines are a set of practices and standards designed to protect people, the environment, and the integrity of research when working with infectious agents, chemicals, or potentially harmful biological materials. They include protocols for proper handling, storage, and disposal of materials, use of personal protective equipment (like gloves and masks), and containment measures to prevent accidental exposure or release. These guidelines ensure lab work is conducted safely, minimizing risks while allowing scientific progress to occur responsibly and ethically.
