EBSA21 - Course B - Risk assessment methodologies
Management of risks related to activities with hazardous biological material, be it research, development, production or diagnostics, requires risk assessment at various stages of the activity. To begin with, the hazards of the various biological materials need to be estimated. Also, when genetic modification is involved methods and tools such as viral vectors, plasmids and types of inserts need to be considered.
