    This document provides information about characterizing biosafety hazards for the biological agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It includes filling out a hazard characterization sheet which identifies M. tuberculosis as a Risk Group 3 pathogen that is highly pathogenic, has a low infectious dose, can infect humans via respiratory transmission, and has a history of laboratory-acquired infections. The document then prompts identifying risks that could arise from the hazards, under what conditions risks may be manifested, and who would be at risk, such as lab workers being at risk of infection from inhalation of infectious aerosols generated during experiments.

    Practical 1

    My agent =
    PART A Hazard characterisation

    1. Identify what are the possible biosafety hazards for your agent.
    2. Complete the Hazard Characterisation Sheet attached. You will need to search the
    internet or other sources for scientific data. This will provide the information for the
    risk assessment in the next section.
    3. Use the template on the next page. Use extra paper if you need.

    Hazard characterisation sheet (tick where applicable)


    Name of biological agent (genus/species etc.): Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    1. Type of agent:
    / Bacterium Virus Fungus Parasite
    Cell Culture Prion Biological toxin Others:

    2. Risk Group 1 2 / 3 4 Unknown

    3. Pathogenicity
    / Highly pathogenic Pathogenic
    Opportunistic pathogen Potential pathogen

    4. Infectious dose Unknown / Known = low infectious dose of less


    than 10 microorganisms

    5. Host range
    / Human Animal Plants Others :
    6. Communicability
    / Human to Animal to Human to Animal to
    human human animal animal

    7. Route of infection
    / Respiratory tract/ inhalation Mucosal membranes/ eyes, nose, mouth
    Percutaneous / break in skin Gastrointestinal tract/ ingestion

    8. Mode of transmission
    Direct contact Indirect contact / Human-human Human-animal
    Vector borne Inanimate Food, water Air, aerosols
    objects

    9. Individual highly at risk


    Pregnant woman Immunocompromised
    / Aged person/ children / Others: homeless persons, injection drug
    users, and persons with HIV infection.

    10. History of Laboratory –Acquired Infection (LAI)


    / Yes Rare No reports

    11. Vaccine / Yes No


    available?

    12. Cure available? / Yes No

    For the procedures performed on this biological agent:


    13. Will aerosols be produced in large / Yes No
    amounts?

    14. Will sharps be used? Yes / No


    15. Are spills/ splashes likely to happen? / Yes No

    Part B : Risk identification

    1. Identify what risks can arise due to the hazard. One hazard can give risk to several
    risks. The risk can be to the laboratory worker, people around the lab, or the
    environment.
    2. Identify under what conditions/ situations will the risk be manifested. Remember, just
    by having a hazard doesn't mean that it will result in a risk.
    3. Identify who will be at risk.

    Table 1.1: (Give me a title)


    Hazard Risk Under what conditions can Who is at risk

    What can happen
