containmentprocedures
Containment procedures are a structured set of policies, practices, and technical controls aimed at limiting the spread or impact of hazards within a defined area or system. They are deployed to safeguard people, the environment, and property, and to enable continued operations during incidents while complying with legal and ethical obligations.
In biosafety, containment procedures rely on engineering controls (ventilation, sealed facilities), administrative controls (training, access restrictions),
Common elements across domains include risk assessment, defined roles, documented procedures, drills, monitoring, and post-incident review.
Containment procedures rely on a mix of engineering, administrative, and personal protective measures, supported by standards
Examples of practice include biological safety cabinets and negative-pressure rooms in laboratories, isolation wards in hospitals,
