Canadian biosafety guideline : containment level 1 : physical design and operational practices.: HP45-16/2024E-PDF
"The Containment Level 1: Physical Design and Operational Practices guideline provides comprehensive guidance on best practices for basic work area design and the safe handling of Risk Group 1 (RG1) biological material. These practices encompass the basics of biosafety and biosecurity and serve as starting points for developing the mandatory practices required in higher containment levels as specified in the Canadian Biosafety Standard (CBS). Elements provided in this document are presented as recommendations only and may be followed on a voluntary basis, unless otherwise required as a condition of a licence or permit. As described in this guideline, RG1 biological material is not devoid of risk and has the potential to cause infection in some circumstances (e.g., individuals with compromised immune function)"--Scope, page 2.
