pathogen safety data sheets

Pathogen Safety Data Sheets (PSDS) are essential documents that provide information about infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, that can cause disease. They outline safety guidelines for handling these pathogens, including potential health risks, recommended protective measures, proper disposal methods, and emergency procedures. PSDS aim to ensure that researchers and workers are well-informed about the hazards they may encounter and how to work safely with these organisms in laboratories or healthcare settings. This helps prevent accidental exposure and protects public health.
