Welcome to the Defra group personal biosecurity hub. Here you will find information and guidance documents relating to the Defra group personal biosecurity project (DGPBP).
Personal biosecurity refers to the measures taken by an individual to minimise the risk of introducing and spreading biosecurity threats via potentially contaminated clothing, personal equipment, and tools.
The DGPBP aims to raise awareness of the importance of personal biosecurity in curbing the introduction and spread of biosecurity threats, including harmful pests, pathogens, parasites, and invasive non-native species, amongst Defra group staff, contractors, and volunteers, through the implementation of a new minimum standard of personal biosecurity across the participating organisations.
