The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in
Frederick, Maryland, is designed to handle pathogens that cause
serious or potentially lethal diseases, which require the research
performed on them be contained to specialized laboratories. In 2007
a decision was made to expand those facilities causing concern
among area residents that public health and safety risks, and
strategies to mitigate those concerns were not adequately
considered in the decision to go forward with the expansion. In
Evaluation of the Health and Safety Risks of the New USAMRIID High
Containment Facilities at Fort Detrick, Maryland a group of experts
in areas including biosafety, infectious diseases, industrial
hygiene, environmental engineering, risk assessment and
epidemiology, explored whether measures were being taken to ensure
prevention and mitigation of risk to the health and safety of
workers and the public. They also assessed whether the procedures
and regulations employed meet accepted standards of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of
Health.
Evaluation of the Health and Safety Risks of the New USAMRIID High
Containment Facilities at Fort Detrick, Maryland evaluates the
health and safety aspects of the environmental impact statement
developed to support the construction of the new laboratories and
explores the institute's operating requirements, medical and
emergency management response plans and communication and
cooperation with the public. The book recommends that USAMRIID
continue to set high standards for advancing security, operational,
and biosurety measures, and that additional measures be taken to
provide assurance that experienced medical professionals are
readily available to consult on unusual infectious diseases. It
also suggests that USAMRIID expand its two-way communications with
the public.
