24
Q

The process for the implement of biorisk management system

A

Biorisk Management

25
Q

likelihood of an undesirable event happening, that involves a specific hazard or threat and has consequences

A

Risk

26
Q

Formula for Risk

A

Risk= f (likelihood, consequences)

27
Q

a function of both the Likelihood of something happening and Consequences of that occurrence

A

Risk

28
Q

assigns values for likelihood and consequence, which allows us to represent the risk of a particular adverse event on a graph.

A

Risk Assessment

29
Q

concerned with intentional adverse events involving laboratory disease agents and/or their products.

A

Biosecurity risk assessment

30
Q

analytical procedure designed to characterize security risks in a laboratory.

A

biosecurity risk assessment

31
Q

Biosecurity risk assessment considerations

A

Asset, adversary, vulnerability

32
Q

Refers to the process of identifying all the factors that should be considered in a biosecurity risk assessment.

A

Risk characterization

33
Q

process of determining the likelihood and consequences of a particular risk and is associated with a particular adverse event.

A

Risk characterization

34
Q

process of gathering information about the biological agents and toxins that could potentially be targeted by notional adversaries.

A

Asset characterization

35
Q

Biological agents & toxins are referred to as what?

A

Assets

36
Q

Determining the ease or difficulty of malicious use (likelihood) should involve assessing the following:

A

The difficulty of acquiring the agent
The difficulty of processing the agent into a suitable quantity in a suitable form
The difficulty of disseminating the agent to cause harm

37
Q

Difficulties of malicious use

A

Difficulty acquiring the agent
Difficulty processing the agent into a suitable quantity in a suitable form
difficulty of disseminating the agent to cause harm

38
Q

Assessing potential consequences of the malicious us of a particular agent or toxin

A

Physical impact of an attack on a population
Impact of an attack on the economy
Impact of changea in public perception
Impact on facility operations

39
Q

The process of determining specific attributes of potential adversaries that enable them to pose a threat to a biological agent or toxin.

A

ADVERSARY CHARACTERIZATION

40
Q

characteristics of potential adversaries that could help determine the risk they pose

A

Motive
Means
Opportunity

41
Q

a person who has authorized access to a facility, its units (such as laboratories), and its assets.

A

Insider

42
Q

43
Q

ability trust the accuracy of differences between assessments, due to similarities in their bases, assumptions, procedures and protocols.

A

Comparability

44
Q

ability to conduct the same process in the same way for the same hazard or threat and situation over a period of time, or for different hazards, threats, and situations at the same time.

A

Repeatability

45
Q

crucial intermediary step between Risk Characterization and taking active steps towards mitigating risk

A

Risk evaluation

46
Q

process of determining subjectively, whether a risk is high or low, and whether it’s acceptable or not.

A

Risk evaluation

47
Q

evaluation of risk is highly related to the concept of what

A

Risk acceptance

48
Q

Curves on the graph that show the different levels of risk, from Very Low to Very High.
