Biosafety

International Biohazard Warning Symbol

Biosafety encompasses measures and practices aimed at preventing or minimizing potential risks associated with the handling, use, and release of biological materials, particularly in the context of biotechnology and genetic engineering.

It involves the assessment and management of potential hazards to human health, the environment, and biodiversity. Biosafety measures are implemented to ensure the safe development, production, and application of biotechnological products, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), by minimizing potential adverse effects and promoting responsible and sustainable practices.
