WHO Biosafety Manual

The WHO Biosafety Manual provides guidelines to ensure the safe handling of infectious agents in laboratories. It outlines practices, protocols, and safety measures to protect laboratory workers, the environment, and the community from potential biological hazards. The manual helps establish standards for containment, equipment use, waste disposal, and emergency procedures, aiming to minimize risks associated with working with dangerous microorganisms. By following these guidelines, laboratories can effectively manage biosafety risks and ensure safe operations while conducting research or diagnostics involving infectious materials.
