Application of risk assessment technology for facilities and equipment of biosafety laboratories

Briefly presents the definition and process of risk assessment applied to biosafety laboratories, and analyses the current situation of risk assessment of biosafety laboratories in China. Compares the advantages and disadvantages of common risk assessment methods, and selects eight risk assessment methods applied to biosafety laboratories. Points out that the risk assessment of biosafety laboratories should consist of two stages at least, such as the initial risk assessment at the design stage, and risk reassessment during the operation. It provides a basis for better risk assessment and risk control of biosafety laboratories.
