Q

TAGLINE OF BIOLOGICAL RISK ASSOCIATION PHILIPPINES (BRAP)

A

Assess, Mitigate, Monitor

52
Q

includes microorganisms that are unlikely to cause human or animal disease. These microorganisms bring about low individual and community risk

A

RISK GROUP 1

53
Q

includes microorganisms that are unlikely to be a significant risk to laboratory workers and the
community, livestock, or the environment. Laboratory exposure may cause infection, however, effective treatment and preventive measures are available while the risk of spread is limited. This risk group bring about moderate individual risk and limited community risk

A

RISK GROUP 2

54
Q

includes microorganisms that are known to cause serious diseases to humans or animals and
may present a significant risk to laboratory workers.
o It could present a limited to moderate risk if these microorganisms spread in the community or
the environment, but there are usually effective preventive measures or treatment available.
o They bring about high individual risk, and limited to moderate community risk

A

RISK GROUP 3

55
Q

includes microorganisms that are known to produce lifethreatening diseases to humans or
animals. It represents a significant risk to laboratory workers and may be readily transmissible from one
individual to another while effective treatment and preventive measures are not usually
available. In effect, they bring about high individual and community risk.

A

RISK GROUP 4

56
Q

includes microorganisms that are known to produce lifethreatening diseases to humans or
animals. It represents a significant risk to laboratory workers and may be readily transmissible from one
individual to another while effective treatment and preventive measures are not usually
available. In effect, they bring about high individual and community risk.

A

RISK GROUP 4

57
Q

is suitable for work involving viable microorganisms that are defined and with well- characterized strains known not to cause disease in humans. This level is the most appropriate among undergraduate and secondary educational training and teaching laboratories that require basic laboratory safety practices, safety equipment, and facility design that requires basic level of containment

A

BIOSAFETY LEVEL 1 (BSL-1)

58
Q

Examples of microorganisms being handled in BSL-1

A

Bacillus subtilis, Naegleria gruberi,
infectious canine hepatitis virus, and exempt organisms under the NIH Guidelines

59
Q

is basically designed for laboratories that deal with indigenous moderate-risk agents present in
the community. It observes practices, equipment, and facility design that are applicable to clinical, diagnostic, and teaching laboratories consequently observing good microbiological techniques.

A

BIOSAFETY LEVEL 2 (BSL-2)

60
Q

Examples of microorganisms that could be handled under level 2

A

Hepatitis B virus, HIV, salmonellae, and Toxoplasma species.

61
Q

appropriate when work is done with human blood, body fluids, tissues, or primary
human cell lines where there is uncertain presence of infectious agents.

A

BSL-2

62
Q

Puts emphasis on primary and secondary barriers in the protection of the personnel, the
community, and the environment from infectious aerosol exposure. Work with indigenous or exotic agents with a potential for respiratory transmission, and that may cause serious and potentially lethal infection are being conducted here.

All laboratory activities are required to be performed in a biosafety cabinet or other
containment equipment like a gas-tight aerosol generation chamber.

A

BIOSAFETY LEVEL 3 (BSL-3)

63
Q

Is required for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose high individual risks of life-
threatening diseases that may be transmitted via the aerosol route, for which there are no
available vaccines or treatment.

The laboratory workers’ complete isolation from aerosolized infectious materials is
accomplished primarily by working in a Class III biosafety cabinet or in a full-body, air-supplied
positivepressure personnel suit.

Also a laboratory is generally a separate building or completely isolated zone with specialized
ventilation requirements and waste management systems.

A

BIOSAFETY LEVEL 4 (BSL-4)

64
Q

BIOSAFETY LEVEL 3 EXAMPLES

A

Yersinia pestis (plague)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
St louis encephalitis virus
Coxiella
SARS
Rabies virus
West Nile virus
Hantaviruses

65
Q

BIOSAFETY LEVEL 4 EXAMPLES

A
