“Risk groups of organisms”
Classification based on the pathogenicity of specific microorganisms, infectious dose, mode of transmission, host range, treatability, and preventability.
- 4
Organisms that can cause diseases that are very serious or potentially fatal, and are difficult to prevent and treat
- 3
Organisms that can cause diseases that are serious or potentially fatal, but can be prevented and treated
- 2
Organisms that cause mild diseases that are easy to prevent and treat
- 1

- Biological safety in the laboratory effectively controls biological hazards
- (Hazard assessment) A process of collecting and analyzing relevant information about the subject of assessment to estimate the hazardous elements present in the laboratory, and establishing methods and techniques to control them, thereby validating the approach.
- Hazard A substance or situation that can have harmful effects on human health or safety.
- Risk The likelihood that an incident could occur, leading to serious consequences due to a hazardous element.
