Biological agents: The principles, design and operation of containment level 4 facilities
Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens
»Biological agents: The principles, design and operation of containment level 4 facilities is aimed at those responsible for working with the highest hazard pathogens.
It is based on the principles contained in the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 2002. These regulations place a duty on employers to identify the hazards in the workplace, assess the risk posed and put control measures in place to control these risks.
The guidance, which has been developed in partnership with experts from ACDP, the biotechnology industry, HSE and other Government Departments, is intended for all laboratories in which high hazard human pathogens may be handled; prevention of exposure and potential infection from these highly pathogenic organisms is important for both workers health and safety and public health. »
