Laboratory Safety in Biomanufacturing

Building upon or moving from a research and development-only space to a facility that also undertakes biomanufacturing presents unique safety challenges. Development of a holistic safety program for the entire life cycle of a product—initial production, processing, and finishing—is important not only for patient safety, but also for the personnel who work in these spaces and the local environment.  

• Differences between small-scale and large-scale risk assessments (biosafety, chemical hygiene, process safety, pressurized vessels, and confined spaces)
• Analysis of facility design and protocols to accommodate for all product and waste streams generated 
• Local and state permitting requirements
• Emergency response and spill clean-up
• And more!
