CLASSIFICATION OF INFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS by RISK GRP
A microorganism that is unlikely to cause human or animal disease
No or Low Individual and COmmunity Risk
Risk Group 1
CLASSIFICATION OF INFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS by RISK GRP
can cause human or animal disease but unlikely to be a serious hazard to lab workers
preventive measures are available
Moderate Individual risk - Low community risk
RG 2
CLASSIFICATION OF INFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS by RISK GRP
does not ordinarily spread from one ifected individual to another
High Individual risk- Low Community risk
but can cause serious human or animal dse
RG 3
CLASSIFICATION OF INFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS by RISK GRP
transmitted from one individual to anotherdirectly ot indirectly
effective treatment and preventive measures NOT USUALLY AVAILABLE
HIGH INDIVIDUAL RISK AND COMMUNITY RISK
RG 4
