DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis first edition of the Canadian Biosafety Standards and Guidelines (CBSG) is a harmonized national standard for the handling and storing of human and terrestrial animal pathogens and toxins in Canada. The CBSG is the result of a joint initiative undertaken by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to update and harmonize existing Canadian biosafety standards and guidelines. It is intended to facilitate compliance by incorporating risk-, evidence- and, where possible, performance-based biosafety and biosecurity requirements, and by streamlining the requirements for handling or storing human or terrestrial animal pathogens and toxins into a single national reference document.
