Biorisk Management Flashcards
Technologies and practice implemented
to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins or their unintentional release.
Biosafety
Institutional and personal security measures designed to prevent the loss, theft, misuse, diversion or intentional release of pathogens and toxins.
Biosecurity
Containment principles
Biosafety
To reduce the theft, loss or misuste valuable/dangerous biological or chemical materials
Biosecurity
A biological attack, or bioterrorism, is
the intentional release of viruses, bacteria, or other germs that can sicken or kill people, livestock, or crops.
Bioterrorism
The risk associated to biological toxins or infectious agents
Biorisk
Accidental release and Unauthorized access may impose a risk. True or False
True
A system or process to control safety and security risks associated with the handling or storage and disposal of biological agents and toxins in laboratories and facilities
Biorisk Management
Combination of biosafety and biosecurity
Biorisk
The three components of Biorisk Management Model (AMP) are
- Biorisk Assignment
- Biorisk Mitigation
- Biorisk Performance
True or False
False (Assessment)
______ is a source that has the potential for causing harm
Hazard
_____ is the possibility or chance of loss, danger, or injury
Risk
Combination of the likelihood and the consequence of an undesirable event related to a specific hazard or threat.
Risk
The following are the repeatable process in performing risk assessment:
- Defining the Situation
- Defining the Risks
- Characterizing the Risks
- Determining if risks are acceptable or
not
True or False
True
What step of performing risk assessment, how an individual is exposed to the hazard?
Step 2: Defining the Risks
Identifying the hazards and risks, At-risk hosts, work activities, and Laboratory Environment are included in what step of risk assessment?
Step 1: Defining The Situation
This step is accepting or rejecting the risk and is subjective in nature
Step 4: Accepting the Risks
In this step, we compare the likelihood and consequences of the risk either qualitatively or quantitatively
Step 3: Characterizing the Risks
The purpose of mitigation is to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents and toxins. True or False
True
Mitigation includes accomplishments and controls. True or False
False (Actions)
Physically remove the hazard
CHOICES:
Elimination, PPE, Administrative Controls, Substitution, Engineering controls

PPE
A systematic process intended to achieve organizational objectives and goals.
Performance Evaluation
A reevaluation of the overall mitigation strategy.
Performance Management
Ensures that the implemented mitigation measures are indeed reducing or eliminating risks.
Performance Evaluation
The most difficult to implement but effective are Administrative control and PPE. True or false
False (elimination)
Identification of potential for improvement
CHOICES:
Plan, Do, Act, Check
Plan
Careful checking of process and obtained results

Analysis of the current situation
CHOICES:
Plan, Do, Act, Check
Plan
Full implementation as a standard which is periodically checked by adults
CHOICES:
Plan, Do, Act, Check
Act
