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

30
it is an object that can cause harm
hazard
31
it is a person that intent to cause harm to other people
threat
32
it can be based either on hazard and/or threat
risk
33
RG 1, RG 2, RG3, and RG4
Agent Risk Group
34
agents that are not associated with disease
RG1
35
example of rg1 agent
brewer's yeast
36
agents that are associated with disease but rarely serious
RG2
37
Examples of RG2 agents
herpes virus, streptococcus pneumoniae
38
agents that are associated with lethal or serious disease
RG3
39
Example of RG3 disease
Yersinia Pestis, HIV, SARS virus
40
agents that are associated with serious disease with no therapeutic interventions
RG 4
41
Examples of RG4 agents
Ebola virus, Marburg virus

extrusive injuries, loss of production capability, off site effects with no detrimental effects, major financial loss
major
58
death, toxic release offsite with detrimental effects, huge financial loss
catastrophic
59

63
a process to identify the hazards and evaluate the risks associated with biological agents and toxins
assessment
64
actions or control measures that are put into place to reduce or eliminate the risks
mitigation
65
evaluating and ensuring that the system is working the way it was designed, and identifying opportunities for system improvement
performance
66
Hierarchy of Controls
elimination sublimation engineering controls administrative controls ppe
67
5 major categories in controlling biological risks
elimination or substitution engineering controls administrative controls practices and procedures personal protective equipment
68
physically remove the the hazard
elimination
69
replace the hazard
replace the hazard
70
engineering controls
isolate people from the hazard
71
removing the risk
elimination
72
substitution of a serious pathogen with one this is much less pathogenic
substitution
73
physical changes -to work stations, any relevant aspect of the work environment that reduce or prevent exposure to hazards
controls engineering
74
policies, standards, and guidelines
administrative
75
devices worn by the worker to protect against hazards
ppe
76
more on equipment, materials, and production facilities
engineering controls
77
Advantage and disadvantage of engineering controls
Advantage efficient eliminates Hazards significantly reduces the potential and and the level of exposure to pathogens Disadvantage Cost Complexity
78
Advantage and disadvantage of administrative
Advantage authority approach Disadvantage Indirect approach Addresses human factor
79
Advantage and disadvantage of practices and procedures
Ad. SOP based Dis. Training and Supervision Required
80
Advantage and disadvantage of PPE
Ad. easy of use relative cost Dis. does not eliminate Hazard If ppe fails, exposure happens, uncomfortable, limits ability
