The Hazards of Microbiological Research

Paper Summary:

In clinical and research laboratories, cultures of microorganisms are accumulated in large amounts which are transferred between containers and are manipulated in the process of testing and evaluation. The paper shows the risk presented to employees through this type of exposure. The writer looks at how a worker can contract a disease, what precautions have been enacted, and what are the federal agencies who regulate these safety standards.

From the Paper:

"A need to understand the risks led to guidelines being developed by the CDC which addressed handling the agents based on their infectious severity and the form in which they might be encountered. The guidelines were established to be a combination of strategies including knowledge of the hazard, safety equipment, and basic facility design to prevent accidental or unintentional contamination or contact with agent(s)leading to the possibility/probability of infection."
