16
Q

Identifying the hazards and risks, At-risk hosts, work activities, and Laboratory Environment are included in what step of risk assessment?

A

Step 1: Defining The Situation

17
Q

This step is accepting or rejecting the risk and is subjective in nature

A

Step 4: Accepting the Risks

18
Q

In this step, we compare the likelihood and consequences of the risk either qualitatively or quantitatively

A

Step 3: Characterizing the Risks

19
Q
