The “biohazard” symbol denotes a space or full facility that handles or comes in contact with biological materials. Examples of biological materials include blood samples, infectious agents, bacteria, or other human-derived samples.
This symbol serves to remind staff of both the risk and necessary procedural precautions associated with the handling of biological materials. Labs displaying this symbol should enforce the use of proper PPE, regular cleanings, and proper isolation procedures to prevent leaks or environmental contamination.
These labs should also implement the use of risk mitigation tools like biosafety cabinets, designed to remove airborne infectious agents during the course of testing.
