Biossegurança nos laboratórios de pesquisa e práticas do Departamento de Ciência Florestal da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco

Abstract

To prevent accidents and discarding of residues, as well as the use of suitable equipment to the laboratory, is the main challenge of biosecurity that should be induced on every beginner laboratory users, as well to the “experienced” ones at any activity setup, that utilize a place to prepare activities, which manipulates products or procedures that are dangerous to human, animal and environment health. Objectified analysis of three Research Laboratories utilized to practical classes, two being of computer science and the other the tree nursery from the department of forestry science of Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco – Campus Recife , on the criteria established on norms and work safety laws, Solid Residues and Effluents, as well to evaluate the risks of the activities and to generate a risk map. The methodology included the gathering of processes and activities executed at each laboratory, by each of its respective coordinators and researchers. There were observed problems on the infrastructure and the use of individual and collective safety equipment, the lack of adequate personal training, which requires attention and investments from the State about the biosecurity.
