1. biosafety level 2

   A biosafety level (BSL), or pathogen/protection level, is a set of biocontainment precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in an enclosed laboratory facility. The levels of containment range from the lowest biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) to the highest at level 4 (BSL-4). In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have specified these levels. In the European Union, the same biosafety levels are defined in a directive. In Canada the four levels are known as Containment Levels. Facilities with these designations are also sometimes given as P1 through P4 (for pathogen or protection level), as in the term P3 laboratory.At the lowest level of biosafety, precautions may consist of regular hand-washing and minimal protective equipment. At higher biosafety levels, precautions may include airflow systems, multiple containment rooms, sealed containers, positive pressure personnel suits, established protocols for all procedures, extensive personnel training, and high levels of security to control access to the facility. Health Canada reports that world-wide until 1999 there were recorded over 5,000 cases of accidental laboratory infections and 190 deaths.

1. biosafety level 2

   Biosafety level 2, often abbreviated as BSL-2, refers to a set of specific precautions mandatory for laboratories where the research or clinical work revolves around moderate-risk microorganisms that can cause human disease by ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through skin. The standard safety measures observed include access controls, specific training, use of personal protective equipment, biosafety cabinets, autoclaves, and special waste management procedures. The agents worked with, under this level, are typically responsible for mild and common diseases, but can pose a serious threat if left untreated.
