threat
likelihood of an event or incident w/ a hazard that has consequence
risk

event occurring
Likelihood
the severity of
an event
Consequence
key comoponent of biorisk management
biorisk assessment, biorisk mitigation, performance
process of identifying hazards and evaluating risks associated with biological agents and toxins, taking into account the adequazy of any existing controls and deciding whether or not the risks are acceptable
biorisk assessment
actions and control measures that are put into place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents and toxins
biorisk mitigation
implementation of entire biorisk management system
performance
process of risk assessment
identify hazard/threat –> determine consequence
of an identified risk –> identify all existing controls and any additional ones that need to be applied.
