Q

biorisk management strategy

A
  • describe work activities
  • identify hazards & identify any threats
  • determine risks
  • decide whether the risk is acceptable or not
  • if yes,
  • proceed with work and monitor controls
  • if no
  • prepare risk control action plan
  • implement control measures
  • review adequacy of plan
  • revise or close project
