Laboratory Biosafety Manual (2 Revised edition)

Practical guidance on biosafety techniques at all levels is provided in this manual.

Revised in the light of recent developments in laboratory safety, particularly the emergence and rapid spread of HIV, the manual advocates that the dangers concerned with dealing and handling infected material can be minimized by attention to good microbiological technique and the application of essential safety procedures.

Such procedures and techniques are described in detail and the safety checklist included at the end is a useful reference point for anyone reviewing existing procedures or planning to introduce a new safety programme.
