Introduction;
This checklist does not lead to a score of the laboratory. It is merely meant as a tool to help in the process of upgrading safety and laboratory facility. It helps in identifying elements that need to be improved. It is important that the laboratories comply with the appropriate safety and facility requirements. It is however important that the laboratory perceives safety as a high priority element of quality. Performing the assessment is the responsibility of the biosafety officer. The laboratory supervisor is responsible for formulating the action points based on the outcome of the assessment and coordinate the execution of all action points. Especially the latter is important since only the laboratory supervisor has the authority to make sure that everybody completes the action points assigned to him/her.Download Moi University Biosafety Checklist
