1
Q
- Identify the specific hazard or threat
- Determine the consequences of an identified risk
- Identify all the existing controls and any additional ones that need to be applied

BIORISK MANAGEMENT
5
Q
- The initial step in implementing a biorisk management
- Risk identification
- Hazard/threat identification
- Likelihood evaluation
- Consequences evaluation
INCLUDES: - characterization of RISKS that are possibly present in the laboratory
- identification of HAZARDS
A
Risk Assessment
6
Q
- refers to anything in the environment that has the potential to cause harm
A
HAZARDS
7
Q
- the possibility that something bad or unpleasant will happen
A
RISKS
8
Q
- The second fundamental component of biorisk management
- Are actions and control measures that are put into place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents and toxins (Salerno, 2015)
A
Mitigation Procedures
9

- arranged by the most effective to least effective
A
Risk Mitigation Control Measures
10
Q
- Removing the risk
A
ELIMINATION
11
Q
- Substitution of a serious pathogen with one that is much less pathogenic
A
SUBSTITUTION
11
Q
- Physical changes to workstations, equipment, materials, production facilities, or any other relevant aspect of the work environment that reduce or prevent exposure to hazards
A
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
12
Q

A
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DEVICES
14
Q
- refers to the last pillar of biorisk management
- involves a systematic process intended to achieve organizational objectives and goals
- The model ensures that the implemented mitigation measures are indeed reducing or eliminating risks.
