Biosafety regulations are guidelines designed to protect human health and the environment from potential risks associated with biological research and activities. These regulations ensure that laboratories and facilities handling pathogens, genetically modified organisms, and other biological materials operate safely and responsibly. They often include protocols for containment, waste disposal, and emergency response. These regulations are enforced by various organizations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Compliance with biosafety regulations helps prevent accidental releases of harmful agents and promotes safe practices in scientific research, ultimately safeguarding public health and ecological integrity.
