| Popis: | Introduction: Infectious diseases are a frequent object of study and interest for science. Thus, great advances have been obtained in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of such diseases. The current theme of biosafety - actions designed to prevent, control, reduce or eliminate risks inherent in activities that can compromise human, animal and plant health and the environment. Objective: This manuscript will focus on the discussion of: standard biosafety precautions, vaccination for healthcare workers, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and post-exposure prophylaxis for some respiratory and biological fluid transmitted diseases. Method: Literature review with articles that discuss about creation and maintenance of safety committees such as the Internal Commission for Accident Prevention (CIPA), Specialized Services for Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (SESMT), and/or the Commission for Hospital Infection Control (CCIH). Results: It is necessary to expand monitoring in biosafety, through cooperation between countries in risk analysis, prevention resources and control of infectious diseases. Conclusions: Biosafety norms are fundamental for the confrontation of infectious diseases and must be followed by health professionals. The construction of biosafety care is a collective ethical and social commitment of respect, trust and responsibility. |
