Biosafety and Biosecurity

  • Biosafety describes the containment principles,

technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent the unintentional exposure to biological agents and toxins,

  • r their accidental release
  • Biosecurity describes the protection, control and

accountability for biological agents and toxins within laboratories, in order to prevent their loss, theft, misuse, diversion of, unauthorized access or intentional unauthorized release

(adapted from WHO/CDS/EPR/2006.6 and CWA 15793:2011) Biosafety is to keep bad bugs from people, Biosecurity is to keep bad people from bugs

Biosafety threats: A role for EBSA

  • EBSA = a non-profit organization, open to

anyone working in the field:

– Formed in 1996 – Members:

  • from students to senior professionals
  • From diverse disciplines (healthcare, academia, emergency

response, pharmaceutical/ biotech industry, regulatory affairs etc.)

  • Represent the Biosafety community

Enhancing knowledge and understanding

  • f biological safety & security
  • EBSA establishes and communicates best biosafety and biosecurity

practices amongst its members and encourages dialogue and discussions

  • n developing issues.
  • EBSA influences and supports emerging legislation and standards,

with the objective of ensuring the prevention of harm to man or the environment from biological substances or materials.

  • EBSA represents and defends the collective interests of its members

in all areas relating to biosafety and biosecurity.

EBSA’s objectives

Raising awareness and understanding in biosafety

  • Evidence based biosafety: Identify areas where research is required

to address the lack of data supporting biosafety management and facilitate research in these areas

  • Promote and support national and local biosafety organizations and

meetings

  • Provide biosafety information and reports on meetings attended or

specific topics

EBSA’s objectives

Representing the interests of the biosafety community

  • Scout for new developments that might influence the biosafety

working environment

  • Develop positions in line with the overall EBSA approach for

appropriate regulations proportional to the risk

  • Coordinate actions with national biosafety organizations and other

stakeholders to ensure that advocacy efforts are directed efficiently

  • Participate in global initiatives (e.g. IFBA)
  • Form alliances with other biosafety associations
