BSL-2 Laboratories in the Hospital
Biological safety level 2 laboratories are planned in accordance with the regulations of the German Biological Substances Ordinance (BioStoffV) and the standards of the USA and Canada “Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories” and (BMBL) and “Canadian Laboratory Biosafety Guidelines Health Canada”.
The classification of “biological agents” is based on their degree of danger (risk of infection, severity of illness and therapeutic options) and is divided into four risk groups. This results in the four safety levels “Biological Safety Level” (BSL-1 to BSL-4).
The corresponding requirement profiles change according to the classification of a laboratory. HT Group specializes in the high requirements of risk groups or safety levels 2, 3 and 4.
Risk group 2 defines:
Biological agents that can cause disease in humans and could pose a risk to employees. Spread to the population is unlikely, effective prevention or treatment is usually possible.
Controlled environment
BSL-2 laboratories require a standardized and controlled environment protected by a hygienic barrier.
These technical barriers, control and monitoring systems guarantee compliance, control and traceability of the safety guidelines defined by national and international regulations.
Thanks to HT's prefabricated and modular design, changes and adaptations to new requirements and access to technical systems can be implemented quickly, cleanly and easily.
