What are
BIOHAZARDS?
A biological hazard or biohazard is an
organism, or substance derived from an
organism, that poses a threat to (primarily)
human health.
This can include medical waste or samples of a
microorganism, virus or toxin (from a biological
source) that can impact human health. It can
also include substances harmful to animals.
and Potentially
Infectious Materials
Human, animal and plant pathogens;
All human blood, blood products, tissues and
certain body fluids;
Cultured cells (all human or certain animal) and
potentially infectious agents these cells may
contain;
Allergens;
Toxins (bacterial, fungal, plant, etc.);
Certain recombinant products;
Clinical specimens;
Infected animals and animal tissues;
Recombinant DNA (rDNA);
Risk Assessment
"Risk" implies the probability that harm, injury or
disease will occur.

Biosafety
Regulatory bodies
in India for GM
plants
Biosafety rules in India for
GM plants
Presently, there are three regulatory
authorities to regulate recombinant DNA
related activities including research, product
development and commercialization activity.
These are
(a) Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBSC);
(b) Review Committee on Genetic
Manipulation (RCGM) and
(c) Genetic Engineering Approval Committee
(GEAC).
Institutional Biosafety
Committee (IBSC)
To note, examine and approve proposals involving
r-DNA work; to ensure adherence of r-DNA Safety
Guidelines- 1990 of Government; inspection of
containment facilities at R&D and production units
and to inform the RCGM about the facilities;
