ایمنی زیستی: اصول و شیوه‌ها

Comprehensive coverage of the identification, assessment, and management of biological hazards. • Presents the essentials for a complete biological safety program, with specific advice on management and implementation issues. • Covers the identification, assessment, and management of hazardous biological agents and toxins. • Updates information on laboratory-acquired infections and examines epidemiology and routes of exposure. • Refers extensively to current NIH, CDC, and other regulations and guidelines. • Addresses special considerations, from teaching and industrial labs to biosecurity programs. • Serves as a resource for those involved in biological safety, including program managers, biological safety professionals The Epidemiology Of Laboratory-associated Infections, Including Some Previously Unreported Cases, Is Thoroughly Covered. Detailed Chapters Cover Hazard Assessments Of The Wide Range Of Pathogens And Biological Toxins Encountered In Biomedical Laboratories As Well As Other Occupational Settings. All Facets Of Hazard Control, From Personal Protective Equipment To Institution-wide Provisions And Policies, Are Discussed.
