WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual

The WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual provides guidelines to ensure that laboratories handling infectious materials operate safely. It outlines procedures to prevent the accidental release of harmful pathogens and protect laboratory staff, the public, and the environment. The manual categorizes laboratories based on risk levels and recommends safety measures, equipment, and practices suited for each. Its goal is to promote practices that minimize biological hazards and ensure safe diagnostic, research, and testing activities related to infectious diseases. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive resource for establishing and maintaining a safe laboratory environment worldwide.
