Abstract
We considered some aspects of laboratory medicine and occupational medicine, with special reference to biological risk, looking for those elements that could be essential parts of both medical fields. We evaluated the national and international literature on biological risk with particular attention to the main features of laboratory and occupational medicine, including errors sources, quality, concept of risk, guidelines and risk reduction. Risk management, training, communication, involvement and participation of different professionals are characteristics of both disciplines, and it is important to promote a risk culture in order to mitigate biological risk. The study of biological risk should include risk assessment and management, through a multidisciplinary approach aimed at eliminating and/or reducing risks. The spread of new methodologies has led to improvement in the study of biological risk and better integration between laboratory and occupational medicine.
