    Abstract:
    The D.Lgs 626/94, regarding the improvement of workers safety in the workplace, introduces the necessity of the biological hazards assessment. In case of not sanitary chemical and biological laboratories, workers are subject to biological hazards due to potential exposure, because many biological agents could be present in the samples to be analysed, and also for deliberated use of micro organisms. However the assessment of the air and surfaces monitoring results in such environment is still difficult without Guidelines that indicate levels of acceptable exposure and contamination, and reference limits in order to judge "safe" the environment. The following report describes a microbiological monitoring into the Laboratories of HERA SpA and wants to underline the need to produce Guidelines dedicated to these particular workplaces environment, in order to standardize air quality sampling procedures and results assessment.
