- Abstract
The management of laboratory biosafety is facing vital difficulties around the world, especially for a large number of biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) laboratories. The purpose of this paper is to propose two indicator systems for both a single laboratory and the unit level (the whole company, school, department, hospital, or organization). Based on the comprehensive indicator systems, 14 experts were asked to rate the indicators. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to obtain the weights of the indicators. The indicator systems can help the laboratory staff in BSL-2 laboratories to control and reduce biological risks. Moreover, it can contribute to the management of laboratory biosafety for administrators and government departments.
