This section lays down the foundation of biological safety, exploring the main principles and core concepts within the context of laboratory practices. It reviews the biological safety levels (BSL-1 to BSL-4), and discusses the specific containment measures that are required with each level. It focuses on the importance of primary and secondary barriers, including engineering controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), and administrative controls. Additionally, this portion also focuses on the evaluation and control of risks. The importance of the study of standards and guidelines, that are associated with the biosafety, and how they contribute towards a safe laboratory environment.
