Resumo
Biosafety can be defined as the actions taken to prevent, reduce or eliminate risks inherent in
activities that could endanger human health and the environment. Especially on veterinary
environments, there is not much information on the subject. Moreover, the habit of neglecting
the adoption of containment measures is not uncommon, which can exacerbate the potential
hazards present. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the types of risks present in
each section of the laboratory, prepare risk maps with graphical representations of intensity
and types of risks, disclose these maps to workers as well as to recognize the types of waste
generated in the laboratory and the management adopted to the wastes to elaborate and
implement a Waste Management Plan. The study was conducted at an official laboratory for
veterinary diagnosis from October, 2013 to March, 2014. In this research, a check list was
conducted based on the current legislation on good laboratory practices, risk mapping and
waste management. The results showed that all risks and degrees of intensity were present in
the laboratory with predominance of biological risk, which had severe intensity in most
departments. On the other hand, chemical risk was the least frequent, although it showed the
highest coefficient of variation. Regarding intensity, the highest and the lowest amount of
riskwere observed in the departments of microbiological diagnosis and equine infectious
anemia, respectively. As for waste management, failures were observed in all stages,
especially segregation, internal transportation, handling and temporary storage, despite the
generation of all types of RSS, but radioactive waste. The risk assessment in the laboratory
facilities contributed to the preparation of risk maps in each sector, representing the potential
hazards identified and containment measures recommended. Furthermore, a waste
management plan was developed and implemented, seeking correction of nonconformities
observed and, consequently, minimizing workers exposure to hazards present in the
laboratory. With this study, it was possible to evidence that the physical structure as well as
material and human resources influence directly the success of a biosafety plan. Thus, it is
essential the adoption of a continuing education program to maintain the adherence to
preventive measures indicated to minimize risks in the laboratory studied.
