Abnormal Toxicity Test (ATT) is performed as quality control test by manufacturers and National Control Laboratory (NCL) to ensure safety of biologicals. However, stakeholders are in general consensus that extraneous toxic contaminations are extremely unlikely where Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and consistent production have been established. This test requiring mice and guinea pigs is still a regulatory requirement for the batch release of biologicals in several countries although it has been deleted by some National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and Pharmacopoeias while some are still working on its elimination.

Risk assessment is the cornerstone of working safely with biological agents. The World Health Organization (WHO) Laboratory Biosafety Manual Fourth Edition Monograph on Risk Assessment provides stepwise guidance for completing a risk assessment, from information gathering and identifying hazards to evaluating the risks, developing, and implementing controls and review.To support the development of a mature safety culture within laboratories, it is important that all staff who handle biological agents understand the fundamentals of risk assessment and receive training in identifying hazards created by their work activities (or tasks) and understand how to mitigate the risks arising from carrying out that work.
