Biosafety in biotechnology is a relatively new field of knowledge, the main task of which is to protect the population from biological threats of various origins. Within the framework of this academic discipline, laboratory biosafety and bioprotection will be considered mainly, the main purpose of which is to protect the researcher from dangerous biological materials with which he works. During the study of the discipline, a general description of biorisks and biothreats when working in a biotechnology laboratory, safety rules, modern principles of biological safety in laboratory conditions are given. Factors affecting risks are considered in detail, and the determination of the probability and consequences that affect risks, categories of control measures, principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent the unintentional release and spread of pathogens and toxins, and assessment of the level of biological risk. Understanding the basics of biosafety allows not only to reduce risks during research and protect the employee, but also to prevent the intentional or unintentional use of research results to cause harm.
