Pathogen Safety

Pathogen safety refers to the practices and guidelines designed to prevent the spread of harmful microorganisms that can cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants. This includes measures taken in laboratories, hospitals, and farms to ensure that pathogens—like bacteria, viruses, and fungi—are handled, stored, and disposed of safely. Proper training, protective equipment, and protocols help reduce the risk of infections and outbreaks. By prioritizing pathogen safety, we protect public health and the environment from potential threats posed by infectious agents.
