biohazard containment
Biohazard containment refers to the methods and practices used to prevent the release of harmful biological agents into the environment. This includes the use of specialized facilities, equipment, and protocols designed to safely handle, store, and dispose of materials that may pose a risk to human health or the ecosystem. Common settings for biohazard containment include laboratories, hospitals, and waste management facilities.
Key components of biohazard containment include biological safety cabinets, personal protective equipment (PPE), and containment facilities. These measures help ensure that potentially infectious materials, such as bacteria or viruses, are managed safely. Proper training and adherence to regulations are essential for effective biohazard containment.
