Development of a comprehensive Biosafety Management System for external user experiments at NSRRC

The National Synchrotron Radiation Research Cen-ter (NSRRC) operates the Taiwan Light Source (TLS) and Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) accelerators and approximately 40 end stations, about 10 of which are dedicated to biological research. Biologists from around the world utilize these facilities to investigate the structures and functions of biomolecules and cells, advancing the life sciences. Given the potential risks associated with biological experiments, particularly those involving biohazards, ongoing risk management is essential to ensure biosafety, as protocol failures often caused by human error or inadequate technique can increase the likelihood of exposure. This paper outlines the biosafety management framework at NSRRC, which supports users in sample classification, document submission, and risk identification to facili-tate a safe and efficient experimental review process.
