Canadian Biosafety Guideline: Developing a Comprehensive Biosecurity Plan

Canadian Biosafety Guideline: Developing a Comprehensive Biosecurity Plan "The Canadian Biosafety Guidelines have been developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) as an ongoing series of biosafety and biosecurity themed guidance documents. In Canada, most facilities where human and terrestrial animal pathogens or toxins are handled and stored are regulated by the PHAC and the CFIA under the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act (HPTA), Human Pathogens and Toxins Regulations (HPTR), Health of Animals Act (HAA), and Health of Animals Regulations (HAR). Regulated facilities are required to develop and maintain a biosecurity plan, in accordance with the requirements established in the Canadian Biosafety Standard (CBS), 2nd Edition. The Canadian Biosafety Handbook (CBH), 2nd Edition aims to provide stakeholders with support and guidance on how to conduct biosecurity risk assessments and the core components of a robust biosecurity plan to appropriately address biosecurity risks with the pathogens and toxins in their possession. The Developing a Comprehensive Biosecurity Plan guideline elaborates on a number of the biosecurity topics introduced in the CBH and serves as a resource for stakeholders seeking additional information and guidance to establish a more detailed and robust biosecurity plan." 2019-02-11 Public Health Agency of Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyCanadianBiosafetyGuidelineComprehensiveBiosecurityPlanBiosecurityRiskAssessmentBiosecurity PlanPhysical Securityphysical BarriersGraded ProtectionAccess ControlDetection of Unauthorized Access and Attempted AccessOperational ConsiderationsAccess ControlPersonnel SuitabilityReliabilityPersonnel Suitability and Reliability ScreeningReliability Assessment ProgramHPTASecurity ClearancesPathogen and Toxin AccountabilityInventory ControlInventoriesSecurity during MovementTransportationIncident and Emergency ResponseIncident ReportingIncident Response PlanningIncident InvestigationInformation Management and SecurityInformation Assetsclassifying InformationInformation SecurityImplementationEvaluationImprovementBiosecurity PlanTrainingMaintenanceTesting of Security SystemsEvaluationContinual ImprovementBiosecurity PlanGovernmentCanadaLegislation Canadian Biosafety Guideline: Developing a Comprehensive Biosecurity PlanHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/canadian-biosafety-standards-guidelines/guidance/developing-comprehensive-biosecurity-plan.html Canadian Biosafety Guideline: Developing a Comprehensive Biosecurity PlanHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-publique/services/normes-lignes-directrices-canadiennes-biosecurite/directrices/elaboration-plan-biosecurite-exhaustif.html Canadian Biosafety Guideline: Developing a Comprehensive Biosecurity PlanPDF https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/phac-aspc/migration/cbsg-nldcb/dcp-epe/assets/pdf/dcp-epe-eng.pdf Canadian Biosafety Guideline: Developing a Comprehensive Biosecurity PlanPDF https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/phac-aspc/migration/cbsg-nldcb/dcp-epe/assets/pdf/dcp-epe-fra.pdf
