The links that were on the ISAC website are below (the web page is attached). The most recent is the CDC Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) 4th Edition. Note the chapters on risk assessment and biosafety level criteria. They will help you define precautions required or recommended for work with various agents in your laboratory. ---------------------------------------------- Biosafety Guidelines and Links to Information on the Internet Many of the biological safety issues are addressed in the links below. In particular, the 4th edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories addresses biological, chemical, as well as radiological safety concerns in the laboratory. There is also a section for risk assessment regarding pathogens.
