By: Kerstin Haskell, MBA. President, World BioHazTec. I remember exactly where I was when I got the call. I was sitting in an airport, waiting for my flight home from Iceland after attending a conference in Germany. I was exhausted, jet-lagged, and only half paying attention to my phone when it rang. “Check your email!” […]

Ensuring the performance and safety of BSL-3 and ABSL-3 laboratories requires more than a checklist. It demands an engineering-based methodology that anticipates risk, verifies containment performance under both normal and abnormal operating conditions of critical laboratory systems, and delivers clear findings with actionable, technically sound recommendations to support facility leadership decision-making. At World BioHazTec, we […]

Building a biocontainment laboratory—whether BSL-3, ABSL-3 or ACL-3, is a highly specialized process that requires careful planning and coordination. When design decisions are made without early input from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), critical issues often surface late in the project, leading to costly changes and delays. Below are examples of common challenges identified during design […]
