Biosafety LevelsBiosafety Levels
 Bio Safety Level (BSL)-I:
Well-characterized agents not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult
humans, and of minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the
Environment.
Standard practices required:
 frequent hand washing
 door that can be kept closed when working
 limits on access to the lab space when working
 no eating, drinking, storage of food in laboratory
 care to minimize splashes and actions that may create aerosols (tiny droplets)
 decontamination of work surfaces after every use
Primary Safety Barriers- Not Required
Biosafety LevelsBiosafety Levels
 Bio Safety Level (BSL)-II:
• Suitable for work involving agents of moderate potential hazard to personnel
and the environment.
• Generally associated with human disease
Safety Equipment (Primary barriers):
• Class I or II Bio safety Cabinets or other physical containment devices (eg….
Aerosol tight lid in Centrifuges) are used
• Personnel Protection Equipment: Laboratory coats, gloves, face protection as
needed
Facilities (Secondary barriers):
• Provide lockable doors for facilities that house restricted agents
• Locating new laboratories away from public areas.
• Furniture used in laboratory work should be covered with a non-fabric material that
can be easily be decontaminated.
• An eye wash station is readily available.
Biosafety LevelsBiosafety Levels
 Bio Safety Level (BSL)-III:
Applicable where work is done with indigenous or exotic agents which may cause
serious or potentially lethal disease as a result of exposure by the inhalation
route.
Safety Equipment (Primary barriers):
• Class I or II Bio safety Cabinets
• Personnel Protection Equipment: Laboratory coats; gloves; face protection as
needed
• Facilities (Secondary barriers):
• The laboratory has special engineering and design feature . The exhaust air from the
laboratory room is discharged to the outdoors
• The ventilation to the laboratory is balanced to provide directional airflow into the
room
Biosafety LevelsBiosafety Levels
 Bio Safety Level (BSL)-IV:
Dangerous/exotic agents which pose high risk of life-threatening disease, aerosol-
transmitted lab infections or related agents with unknown risk of transmission.
Safety Equipment (Primary barriers):
All procedures conducted in Class III Bio safety Cabinets
or Class I or II Bio Safety Cabinets in combination with full-body, air-supplied, positive
pressure personnel suit.
Facilities (Secondary barriers):
BSL-3 plus:
• Separate building or isolated zone
• Dedicated supply and exhaust and decontamination systems
Biosafety LevelsBiosafety Levels
Air Filtration in Biosafety cabinetsAir Filtration in Biosafety cabinets
•High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters
•Ultra low particulate air (ULPA) filters
Air Filtration in Biosafety cabinetsAir Filtration in Biosafety cabinets
Variations in HEPA
filter efficiency from
99.95 % to 99.99 % are
usually due to
manufacturing
techniques.
Depending upon its quality, a HEPA
filter is able to trap from 9,995 to 9,999
of every 10,000 particles
An ULPA filter is able to
trap from 99,995 to 99,999 of
every 100,000 particles
ULPA - this is at least 10 times
better than HEPA filtration !!!
International Standards on Biosafety CabinetInternational Standards on Biosafety Cabinet
Why a standard ?Why a standard ?
International Standards on Biosafety CabinetInternational Standards on Biosafety Cabinet
International Standards are mainly issued by two Organisations:
International Standard Organisation (ISO), based in Geneva
(Switzerland),
Comitee Europeen de Normalisation (CEN) based in Brussels
(Belgium).
These standards replace all other local standards on the same
subject.
The aim of the standards is to construct a mechanism to provide
manufacturer and user of a common site to specify technical
specifications and features.
Both construction and testing of the cabinet are covered
International Standards on Biosafety CabinetInternational Standards on Biosafety Cabinet
Standards:
BS-5726 (U.K.)
NF X44-201 (France)
DIN 12950 (Germany)
Now Replaced by EN 12469
EN 12469
European Standards on Design, Construction & Testing of Bio safety Cabinets
In addition to comply DIN 12980 for safety handling of cytotoxic drugs
NSF-49 (National Sanitation Foundation)
In the USA the NSF-49, was one of the first standards on this subject and was the
reference point for a lot of manufacturers. NSF is an independent organisation that
works as neutral agency to help on the problems that could affect to public health
and environment protection.
Was published in 1976.

HoodHood Safety CabinetSafety Cabinet
A fume hood is a ventilation device that is designed to
limit exposure to hazardous fumes vapors or dust. A fume
hood is typically a large piece of equipment enclosing
five sides of a work area, the bottom of which is most
commonly located at a standing work height.
Two main types exist, ducted and recalculating. The
principle is the same for both types: air is drawn in from
the front (open) side of the cabinet, and either expelled
outside the building or made safe through filtration and
fed back into the room.

personnel traffic is
avoided.
Location B is often
