żBiosafety in Microbiological & Biomedical Labs.ż quickly became the cornerstone of biosafety practice & policy upon first pub. in 1984. The info. is advisory in nature even though legislation & regżn., in some circumstances, have overtaken it & made compliance with the guidance mandatory. This rev. contains these addżl. chap.: Occupatżl. med. & immunization; Decontam. & sterilization; Lab. biosecurity & risk assess.; Biosafety Level 3 (Ag.) labs.; Agent summary state. for some ag. pathogens; & Biological toxins. Also, chapters on the principles & practices of biosafety & on risk assess.

For more than 20 years, since it was first published in 1983 the Laboratory biosafety manual has provided practical guidance on biosafety techniques for use in laboratories at all levels. Good microbiological technique and appropriate use of biosafety equipment by well-trained staff remain the fundamental elements of laboratory biosafety. However, globalization significant advances in technology the emergence of new diseases and serious threats arising from the deliberate misuse and release of microbiological agents and toxins have necessitated a review of current procedures.

The books on “Safety Assessment of Transgenic Organisms” constitute a compilation of the OECD Biosafety Consensus Documents. When published, Volume 1 and 2 contained the documents issued before 2006; Volume 3 and 4 are a continuation of the compilation up to 2010. The OECD Biosafety Consensus Documents identify elements of scientific information used in the environmental safety and risk assessment of transgenic organisms which are common to OECD member countries and some non members associated with the work. This is intended to encourage information sharing, promote harmonised practices,

Biosafety labs under the U.S. Bioterrorism Act are primarily regulated and must be registered with either the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture under the Select Agent Regulations. BSL-4 labs handle the world's most dangerous agents and diseases. In fact, of the four BSL designations, only BSL-4 labs can work with agents for which no cure or treatment exists. This report is a systematic security assessment of key perimeter security controls at the nation's five operational BSL-4 labs. This report focused primarily on 15 physical security controls, based

All operational biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) labs are overseen by the CDC. BSL-4 labs handle the world's most dangerous agents and toxins that cause incurable and deadly diseases. In Sept. 2008, it was reported that two of the five operational BSL-4 labs had less than a third of the key perimeter security controls that had been assessed and recommended that CDC implement specific perimeter controls for all BSL-4 labs. This report: (1) provides an update on what action, if any, CDC took to address the 2008 recommendation; (2) determines whether perimeter security controls at the two deficient BSL-
