The Security of High Containment Laboratories
Guy Collyer, Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI)
As a response to the anthrax attacks in the U.S. in 2001, the U.K. government created legislation to include a section on the security of pathogens and toxins in the U.K. In the eight years since this event, the development of new laboratories that are likely to house high-consequence substances has changed dramatically.
This session will focus on the following key stages:
- Concept stage considerations
- Pre-build site security
- Marketing your project
- Public disclosure/document security considerations
- Media strategy
- Threat assessment
