Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals
OIE Biosafety and Biosecurity Resources- OIE Health Standards -
Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals
OIE Biosafety and Biosecurity- Revisions on Terrestrial Manual chapters in 2013 & 2014 -
• Chapter 1.1 .1 – Collection, Submission and Storage of Diagnostic Specimens (update of information, removes shipping information)
• Chapter 1.1.2 - Transport of Specimens of Animal Origin (new chapter: coordination with international
regulations and requirements on packaging and shipping)
•
• Chapter 1.1.3 .a – Standard for Managing Biorisk in Veterinary Laboratories and Animal Facilities
(account for a biorisk analysis and management approach)
Adopted in 2013
Adopted in 2014
- Conceptual Changes -
New Chapter (1.1.3. a) - Standard for Managing Biorisk in Veterinary Laboratories and Animal Facilities
Provides a biorisk analysis and biorisk management approach:— replaces “pathogen risk group” classification and assignment
of specific agents to pre-designated containment levels.— terminology and approaches consistent between animal
health and public health for laboratory biosafety, biosecurity, biocontainment, and biorisk analysis.

health and public health for laboratory biosafety, biosecurity, biocontainment, and biorisk analysis.
Benefits of the Risk Analysis approach
The traditional biosafety and biosecurity approach focuses primarily on• characteristics of the biological agent.
The proposed change also considers: Health and economic consequences of an exposure or release from the specific facility,
Laboratory infrastructure, resources, the proposed activities, and appropriate control measures.
Laboratory Biorisk Analysis
Biorisk Analysis is the process comprised of biohazard identification, biorisk assessment, biorisk management and biorisk communication.

Biohazard Identification
Biorisk Assessment
Biorisk Management
Biorisk Communication
What can go wrong?
How likely is it to occur? How sever would be the consequence?
How can these risks be prevented?
How was the risk identified, characterized and controlled?
Verification/continual improvement
Biohazard Identification
A biohazard can be any biological materials with the potential for causing harm or damage, in isolation and in combination with the laboratory processes involving these.
Hazard identification process has to consider all elements of the biorisk pathway:1)Hazardous properties of the biological materials;2)Characteristics of the laboratory process that cause harm;3) Who and what can be harmed;4)Potential attractiveness of malicious use.
Not only those
biological in nature
A summary of typical aspects of the risk pathway elements is provided in Appendix 1.1.3.2.
Laboratory Biorisk Management
When a biorisk assessment identifies an unacceptable level of risk, the laboratory is responsible for:
• not handling or storing the agent in their facility,
or
• for identifying, implementing and maintaining appropriate biosafety and biosecurity measures.
Discussion and Next steps
Chapter 1.1 .3 – Biosafety and Biosecurity in the Veterinary Microbiology laboratory and Animal Facilities
Some members see the value of traditional approach
Therefore currently there are two chapters-1.1.3 biosafety and biosecurity-1.1.3 a standard for managing bioriskThe plan is to merge the 2 chapters and put the new chapter for adoption in 2015
Capacity building • Aimed at helping countries comply with standards• For vet services:
• PVS evaluation and gap analysis• Veterinary Legislation • Veterinary Education
• For Labs• OIE laboratory twinning• For disease or specific topic• Quality assurance and biosafety and biosecurity are
integral to all twinning projects
Summary
• OIE sets international standards for animal health
– agreed by all 180 members• Promotes compliance with these standards• Capacity building focussed on improving compliance with
standards and on strengthening national veterinary services•For biosafety and biosecurity
• There are special considerations for the animal health sector• New Chapters account for a biorisk management approach
