Enclosing or guarding dangerous items of machinery/equipment

Answer 25

eningeering controls

Question 26

Organizational measures

Answer 26

administrative controls

Question 27

enumerate the advantages and disadvantages of the order of priority or hierarchy of controls

Answer 27

Elimination & Substitution - total removal/ immediate removal of the hazard however most difficult to implement as you change the system or the flow

engineering controls- efficient yet costly and does not eliminate the hazard

adminisitrative controls - authority style ables to direct people yet training conduction and supervision requirements

ppe - ease of use, relative cost but protects only the user and not eliminate the hazard

Question 28

Implementation of the entire biorisk management system, including evaluating and ensuring that the system is working with the way it was designed; the process of continually improving the system

Answer 28

performance

Question 29

what are the process of improving biorisk management?

Answer 29

recording, measuring and evaluating

Question 30

what do you do if the system works?

Answer 30

control the system

Question 31

do you do if the system is sustainable

Answer 31

assure that it is

Question 32

what do you if risk is accessible

Answer 32

improve the work environment

Question 33

how is control done?

Answer 33

validation/verification, qc, proficiency testing, specimen management

Question 34

how is assurance done?

Answer 34

audits and inspections

Question 35
