Survey of the record filing situations of Shenzhen biosafety laboratories in 2017

Objective Aims to reduce the hidden risks of laboratory biosafety, understand the status of biosafety laboratory record filing situations in Shenzhen, and also to provide scientific basis for further standardizing the management of biosafety laboratory in Shenzhen. Methods In 2017, 75 laboratories in Shenzhen completed record filing were surveyed, methodologies adopted including application materials review, phone call consultation and communication, carrying out corrective actions based on feedback peer review suggestions and finally complete the record filing. Results The first/second level laboratory of biosafety in shenzhen is mainly public medical institutions, followed by private hospitals. In 2017, the first three record-filing LABS were Futian district, nanshan district and longgang district. According to the data analysis, lack of the second category of pathogenic microorganism laboratory activity project risk assessment report, and laboratory layout diagram function partition is not clear were two of the more prominent problems in the software and hardware of laboratory management respectively. Conclusions Basically, the overall record filing of Shenzhen biosafety laboratory is good, however, more measurements should be developed to deal with identified problems to further strengthen the standardized management of laboratory biosafety.
