Solving biological safety problems is a priority task of public administration in Ukraine. Currently, the issue of biological security is an important component of Ukraine’s national security in connection with political and economic instability, mass migration of the population, redeployment of troops, and the use of advances in biological technologies.

Objective. Theoretical justification for solving the current problem of the development of concepts and definitions in the field of public management of the country’s biological security.

Research materials. Analysis of sources of information on the development of concepts and definitions in the field of public management of biological safety.

Methods of research. Analysis, synthesis, generalization for the study of scientific sources of information and separation of the importance of world practice for Ukraine in the field of biological safety.

Results. General concepts were developed: biological safety; biological risk; ensuring biological safety; biological safety system.

Conclusions. It is necessary to constantly improve such concepts and definitions as: biological safety; biological risk; ensuring biological safety; biological safety system; identification of sources of biological danger; special measures and activities in the field of public management of biological safety; public management of biological hazard risks.

Key words: concept, definition, public administration, biological safety.
