Version Slide 2 26 August 2008
Objectives
Why biorisk management in containment
laboratories are relevant to BWC
Describe the laboratory biorisk management
system being designed for the Eijkman Institute
Next steps and possible follow-up
Version Slide 4 26 August 2008
Containment laboratories
No conclusive definition for
different laboratory types – guideline / risk based
Organisms categorised by risk
group from 1 to 4
Facilities (and management
controls) defined by containment levels ranging from 1 to 4 (e.g. BSL3, PC3, ACDP3, CL3…)
Recent growth of such facilities
around the world, including in developing countries
Version Slide 5 26 August 2008
Containment laboratories
Relative sophistication can create
confusion and practical difficulties in design, construction and
Operators often struggle with:
practices
Combination of engineering and
management controls
Accident / incident investigations
normally show that management controls fail as opposed to the engineering features
Version Slide 6 26 August 2008
Potential concerns
Potential for harm if work not
conducted responsibly:
Potential source of biological
assets including;
Provide response capacity and
capability in event of outbreak / attack

Eijkman Institute
Nobel prize winner Christian Eijkman
discovered the cause of beriberi
Situated in Jakarta, Indonesia Central role in diagnosing H5N1 cases
in the country
Have built a BSL3 laboratory but need
support in terms of how to operate and maintain
Common problem where facilities are
provided but skills and resources to
Version Slide 9 26 August 2008
Eijkman Institute, Indonesia
Main function to work on emerging infectious
diseases and provide capacity and capability
Key milestones
etc.
Currently being used in diagnostic work with
avian influenza H5N1 in Indonesia
Version Slide 10 26 August 2008
Challenges
No history of running containment
facilities
Need to develop management system
has often to be started from basics
New personnel
Need own system which fits individual
institute and culture
Norwegian Foreign Affairs Ministry
Sponsored Project ‘Improving Biosafety in High Containment Laboratories in Indonesia’
Version Slide 11 26 August 2008
Objectives
biorisk management system at the Eijkman Institute, incorporating safety / security management process and associated procedures
templates (e.g. risk assessments, microbial inventories, accident / incident reporting forms)
materials to support the above
applied in other institutes in Indonesia and elsewhere
management and capacity building at all levels
Version Slide 12 26 August 2008
Activities
Define management processes and
safety / security processes required for responsible management of biorisk
Review proposed system using
international expertise
Conduct training and enhance local
capacity and capability
Basis is CWA 15793; Laboratory
biorisk Management Standard
Version Slide 14 26 August 2008
What next..?
Finalise Eijkman system and offer for
implementation in other labs in developing countries
Integrate with facility orientated
projects
Regulators
local capability and competence for long term
Training, awareness raising and
education
Version Slide 16 26 August 2008
Conclusions
There is a need for facilities like the BSL3 at
the Eijkman Institute
Real need to build local and sustainable
capacity and capability
Great attention paid to facilities projects - less
paid to how these facilities will be organised and managed
We must address the facility, the instructions
AND the people if the we are to maintain safe and secure facilities
Next step to widen approach and identify other candidate organisations Continued international cooperation and support is needed
