Riassunto

This book examines the biological safety principles, characterization of four biosafety levels, areas of research needs , safety management programme profile, key tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS reference laboratory security protocols and the socio-economic implications of poor safety practices in a tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS reference laboratory. Laboratory safety programmes are plans for preventing sickness and injury to personnel and damage or destruction of physical assets. The fundamental objectives of a meaningful laboratory safety programme include improvement of safety skills and attitude of all personnel , and development of a surveillance programme for prompt identification of hazards. It also explains fully, the term "containment" which describes safe methods for managing infectious materials in the laboratory environment where they are being handled or maintained.
