Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a human pathogen with an inhalation route of exposure, a low
infectious dose and is capable of causing severe disease, including death, is representative of
which Risk Group? Correct answer-Risk Group 3
How many different Risk Groups have been establishes for categorizing Pathogen severity and
risk assessment starting point? Correct answer-4
Ebola virus is an example of a pathogen associated with which Risk Group? Correct
answer-Risk Group 4
Salmonella and Shigella are examples of biohazards that have which Risk Group as their starting
point in the risk assessment process? Correct answer-Risk Group 2
This Biosafety Level requires at least two-door separation between the area where biohazards
are used and the personnel not associated with the research, requires inward inflow into the lab
and must have a visual mechanism to verify that air is flowing in the appropriate direction.

practices and laboratory design considerations? Correct answer-4
Salmonella and shigella are examples of which Risk Group agents? Correct answer-Risk
Group 2
As there are no published listings of risk groups for human pathogens anywhere in the world,
Principal Investigators must start by developing a Risk Group ranking for the pathogen they
propose using in research. Correct answer-False
A formal risk assessment is NOT required if researchers will wear personal protective equipment
consisting of gloves, a lab coat, and safety glasses. Correct answer-False
An effective mechanism to ensure that a risk assessment is conducted is: Correct answer-
Mandatory Biohazard Protocol Registration
When considering risk from biohazard experiments involving research animals, shedding of the
biohazard is an important factor. Correct answer-True
