Biosecurity Plan

The intention of a biosecurity plan is to protect the pathogens from theft, misuse or intentional release. The biosecurity plan must be specific to the nature of each facility, the type of research and dignostics conducted and the local environment. The specific requirements must include physical protection, personnel suitability/reliability, pathogen accountability and plans for biosecurity incident and emergency response. More details on how to create a lab-specific biosecurity plan can be found from information contained in the Laboratory Biosafety Guidelines - Section 2.6.

A biosecurity plan template can be found here.
