Biological substances

Biological risks are hazards associated with the presence of bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and toxins. These hazards can come from a variety of sources, including animals, plants, food, pharmaceutical products, laboratories, or biological waste.

Biological hazards can cause illnesses, infections, allergies, food poisoning, and even death.

To prevent biological risks, it is important to take preventive measures, such as wearing personal protective equipment, regularly cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and equipment, and adhering to appropriate safety protocols. Workers should be trained to identify and manage biological risks in their working environment.
