Biosafety Level 1
Agents: Not known to consistently cause diseases in immunocompetent
adult humans.
Practices: Standard microbiological practices
Safety Equipment: None required
Facilities: Open bench top, sink required
Biosafety Level 2
Agents: Associated with human disease. Hazard:
percutaneous injury, mucous membrane exposure, ingestion
Practices: BSL"�1 practices plus:-

- biohazard warning signs
- sharps precautions-
- biosafety manual defining waste decontamination or medical surveillance
policies
Safety Equipment: Primary barriers: Class I or II biosafety cabinets
or other physical containment devices used for all manipulations of
agents that cause splashes or aerosols of infectious materials; PPE:
laboratory
coats, gloves, face protection as needed
Facilities: BSL"�1plus:-
- non"�fabric chairs and other
furniture easily cleanable
- autoclave available-
- eyewash readily available
Biosafety Level 3
Agents: Indigenous or exotic agents with potential for aerosol transmission;
disease may have serious or lethal consequences
Practices: BSL"�2 practices plus:-

- exhaust air not recirculated-
- negative airflow into laboratory-
- eyewash readily available in lab
Biosafety Level 4
Agents: Dangerous/exotic agents which pose high risk of life"� threatening
disease, aerosol"�transmitted lab infections; or related agents with
unknown risk of transmission
Practices: BSL"�3 practices plus:-
- clothing change before entering-
- shower on exit-
- all material decontaminated on exit from facility
Safety Equipment: Primary barriers: All
procedures conducted in Class III biosafety cabinets
or Class I or II biosafety cabinets in combination with full"�body,
air supplied positive pressure suit
