Question 22441 — security of property and people

Summary

Ms. Laurianne Rossi draws the attention of the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation to the safety measures intended to protect public laboratory technicians from the pathologies to which they are exposed on a daily basis. In addition to researchers, public research laboratories work with numerous technicians who handle bacteria and viruses on a daily basis that present a major risk. for health. This is particularly the case for level 3 laboratories which are structures where biological agents are pathogenic for humans with possible propagation. The security measures in force, and in particular the ISO 15189 standard, specify the technical requirements relating to personnel management and in particular, skills, training, security and information provided to personnel. Since 2012, the aforementioned standard emphasizes risk management in order to anticipate any incident and respond appropriately. Furthermore, the “Hospital, patients, health and territories” law of July 21, 2009 specifies that medical biology laboratories must obtain COFRAC accreditation according to the NF EN ISO 15189:2012 standard before the end of October 2016. Despite these provisions and the high level of security in public laboratories, an accident occurring in a INRA laboratory in 2010, would have had dramatic consequences and left a family in mourning. She would like to know the progress of obtaining this certification by public research laboratories in 2019 and the measures taken to protect laboratory workers in the exercise of their functions.
