Biosafety refers to a systematic approach to taking measures to prevent or reduce harm to humans, animals and the environment during the research, production and application of technologies related to biology. Biosafety involves various aspects such as safe operations in laboratories, safe management of biological materials, secure design of equipment and facilities and assessment of biological risks, aimed at protecting the health of researchers and the public and the environmental safety. The aim of biosafety is to ensure that any potential hazards are avoided wherever possible and that the workplace and environment are safe when conducting research and applications of biology-related technologies.
