BIORISK MANAGEMENT

Biorisk management is the integration of biosafety and biosecurity to manage risks when working with biological toxins and infectious agents. This definition is based on:

• CWA 17539

• CWA 15793

• CWA 15973

This step in risk assessment means to compare the likelihood and the consequences of infection:

• Defining the situation

• Defining the risk

• Characterizing the risk

This step in risk assessment means to determine whether or not the biorisk is acceptable:

• Defining the situation

• Defining the risk

• Evaluate the biorisk

This step in risk assessment means to identify the hosts at risk:

• Defining the situation

• Defining the risk

• Characterizing the risk

This step in risk assessment means to review how individuals inside and outside the laboratory may be exposed to the hazards:

• Defining the situation

• Defining the risk

• Characterizing the risk

The key concepts in biorisk management is summarized as the:

• MAP model

• AMP model

• PAM model
