4. Mitigation Control Measures
1. Engineering Controls:
Physical changes to work stations, equipment,
materials, production facilities, of the work
environment that reduce or prevent exposure to
hazards
I Lab design

5. II SAFETY EQUIPMENT
1. Hoods
Fume Hoods
Fume hoods are used when chemical reagents may produce
a hazardous fume.
Air flow should be checked to assure proper ventilation.
Biological Hoods
Biological safety cabinets (BSCs)
it remove particles that may infect the person
working with the biologically infected specimen.
These hoods contain a HEPA (high-efficiency
particulate air) filter
2 Chemical storage equipment
Safety cabinets are required for the storage of
flammable liquids

6. Con/ Mitigation Control Measures
2. Administrative Controls:
Policies, standards , and guidelines used to control
risks
11/9/2012 6
7. • Policies and risk management plan
• Records for accidents
• laboratory Signs
• training

8. Con /Mitigation Control Measures
3. Practices and Procedures:
Processes and activities that have been
shown in practice to be effective in reducing
risks
11/9/2012 8
9. Con/ Mitigation Control Measures
4. Personal Protective Equipment:
Devices worn by the worker to protect against hazards
in the laboratory
11/9/2012 9
10. Advantages/Disadvantages
Control Measure Advantages Disadvantages
Engineering Efficient, Cost,
eliminates hazard complexity
Administrative Authority approach Indirect approach, primarily
addresses the human factor
Training and supervision
Practices & Procedures SOP based (standardized
requirements
approach)
PPE Does not eliminate hazard, PPE
Ease of use, relative cost
fails exposure happens,
uncomfortable, limits ability

11. Car vs. Motorcycle Safety
Car safety is all about engineering systems
wwww
Motorcycle safety is all about PPE
What is more safe?

12. Elimination not doing the intended Work or Substitution
using different materials
Notes : Control methods at the top of the list are in general
11/9/2012 12
more effective and protective than those at the bottom.
13. •first you must consider elimination or substitution
•A combination of control measures should be used based
on their effectiveness and your ability to implement them 13

15. Biorisk Management
Assessment , Mitigation, Performance
•Elimination or Substitution
•Risk identification •Engineering Controls
•Hazard/threat identification •Administrative Control
•Likelihood evaluation •Practices and Procedures
•Consequences evaluation •Personal Protective Equipment

16. what specific steps are still missing from
the system after assessment and
mitigation?
performance
Performance is the way in which someone or
something functions
Performance improves biorisk management
11/9/2012 16
17. How performance improve risk
management system
It give idea of the following:
If your system work will ( control)
If your system sustainable (assure)
If the risk is accessible (improve)

• The Trilogy of Quality
• Control Management
– Policy
– Procedure
– Structure

19. Control
It is the procedures undertaken by the laboratory staff for
theCONTINUOUS AND IMMEDIATE
monitoring of laboratory work in order to decide whether the
results are reliable enough to be released.
Through :
Validation/verification,
quality control,
proficiency testing,
specimen management

20. Control
Policies “what to do”
Procedure “how to do it”
(SOPs)
Structure “Organization
