What is Biosafety ?

Biosafety (and the closely related discipline of Infection Control) in laboratory and point-of-care settings are central not only to the diagnosis, care, and treatment of patients, but also to the safety of health care providers and other staff workers that work in health and laboratory facilities. This website contains helpful safety and training resources for both Laboratory personnel and Health Care provider personnel.
