12-Year Experience in Enacting the Biological Agents & Toxins Act
Dr Su Yun Se-Thoe
Deputy Director, Biosafety Branch,Singapore Ministry of Health
Singapore enacted and enforced the Biological Agents and Toxins Act (BATA) in October 2005 and January 2006, respectively. The BATA aims to prohibit or otherwise, regulate the possession, use, import, transfer and transportation of biological agents and toxins that are known to be hazardous to human health. The introduction of the legislations and the related regulatory framework has markedly improved the biosafety and biosecurity awareness, practices and culture in Singapore. The presentation will discuss the implications and lessons learnt from implementing the legislations, and the challenges encountered in the process of enforcing the regulations.
