Precautions for Sorting Live Human Samples

I know some researchers that are interested in sorting live samples of human
peripheral blood and possibly other types of samples.  I'm interested in
finding out what I should be concerned about as far as aerosol or other
means of transmission of disease to myself and others in the room during
sorting.  What precautions should I take/require?  What screening should I
require prior to accepting samples for sorting?  I was hoping that someone
could point me in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated.
