• The advantages and limitations of each type of biorisk mitigation measure
What an Impressive lecture.
Biorisk mitigation strategies as a whole encompasses all the processes that are put in place to completely eradicate or reduce the occurrence of biological hazards or toxins. This is achieved by the implementation of AMP model.
Mitigation strategies are categorized in the order of most effective to the least effective. This hierarchy includes :
1. Elimination and substitution : which is the complete removal of the hazard and .
Substitution which involves replacing the hazard with something less dangerous.
2. Engineering controls : such as hand washing and use of disinfection of work surfaces, use of spill kits, etc.
3. Administrative control: e.g provision of vaccination, hazard communication standards, etc.
4. Practice and procedures.
5. PPE ( personal protective equipment ) : such as safety glasses, goggles, laser protective Eyewear, for the eyes.
Plugs or muffs, for the Ear and
Hand gloves, etc.
Mitigation is very important as it is efficient, reduces and completely eradicate risks. However it's not always available, expensive and requires frequent maintenance.
In Summary i've learnt that mitigation is the control measures that are put in place to reduce the risk associated with biological agents and toxins.
Basic Mitigation control measures
1. Elimination or substition

Thank you Ma for the wonderful Lecture. I have learnt that Bio-risk mitigation strategies are measures taken to minimize or eliminate the risks associated with biological materials. Some strategies include:
1. _Biosafety Cabinets_: Using enclosed cabinets with HEPA filtration to contain biological materials.
2. _Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)_: Wearing gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection to prevent exposure.
3. _Decontamination and Disinfection_: Using chemicals or physical methods to remove or kill biological materials.
4. _Access Control_: Limiting access to authorized personnel and implementing security measures.
5. _Training and Education_: Providing regular training on bio-risk management and biosafety protocols.
Biorisk management mitigation control measures are put in place to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with biological agents and toxins.
The process of risk assessment is mainly to identify all the risks needed to be addressed.
Here are the strategies; containment
Use of containment cabinets (BSC)or fume hood.
2. Sealed containers for storage and transport.
(2) Ventilation and air handling
a. NEPA filtration

Thank you Ma'am,
In this lecture, I learnt that biorisk mitigation are actions and control measures that are put in place to reduce the risk associated with biological toxins and agents
There are 5 basic mitigation Control methods which are;
1.Administrative control: these are policies that results in providing proper guidance for safety.
2. Engineering control: has to do with physical change in your environment that reduces or prevent hazards. This method is the most effective but costly measure. It requires regular maintenance
3.Elimination and substitution: Elimination involves the removal of the hazard from the completely, while substitution involves replacing a hazardous substance or process with a safer alternative.
4.Practices and procedure
5.Personal protective measures: this is simply providing the individual with protective equipments such as gloves, respirators etc. This is the least preferred method because it depends solely on the individuals usage of this equipments.
However, The most reliable method will depend on the type of risk.
The lecture explain AMP
It explained assessment as th process of identifying the harzards and evaluation the risk associated with biological agent. It explains mitigation as the action and control measures that are put in place to reduce or or eliminate the risk associated with biological agents and toxins. Performance is the implementation of the entire biorisk management system.
You explained elimination or substitution as replacing the harzards with something less dangerous
We also learnt about engineering control which are physical changes to work stations equipment, material etc examples biosafety cabinets, gas cabinet, chemical hoods etc.
We also got a detailed explanation of PPE (personal protective equipment)
This lectures has successfully provided a comprehensive understanding of the role of mitigation in managing biorisk
Thank you ma'am
Thanks ma
I have learnt a lot from this series.
I now know the step by step approach to identifying hazard and implementing control.
Mitigation should address all risks and also address them appropriately, according to the risk that the organism poses to human or animal health
Also a part of mitigation is wearing PPE, disposing of sharps and container and also autoclave before discarding.
In summary;
Bio risk mitigation strategies are measures taken to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents. Here are the strategies;
(1) Containment
(a) Use of containment cabinets (BSC) or fume hood.

Bio risk mitigation
What I have learnt
Mitigation is the action and control measures that are put into place to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with biological agents and toxins.
Mitigation control measures includes
I. Elimination or substitution: this involves removing the hazard or replacing with something less dangerous.
II. Engineering controls : it involves using equipment materials, production facilities or any other relevant aspect of the work environment to prevent exposure to hazard examples are gas cabinet, biosafety cabinet.
III. Personal protective equipment: this are devices worn by a person to protect his or herself from the hazard examples face shield, ear plugs and safety glass e.t.c.
IV. Practices and procedures: are practices engage to reduce risk example are washing of hands, cleaning of surface e.t.c.
V. Administrative Control: are policy and procedure that result in providing proper guidance for safety.
In summary to biorisk mitigation strategies, firstly,
Mitigation is the actions and the control measures that are put in place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents.
So therefore the mitigation strategies measures includes:
Elimination or substitution
Administrative controls
Practice and procedures
Personal protective equipment (PPE).
Practices and procedures
Hand hygiene.
Disinfecting work surfaces.
Decontaminating after spilts.
Using procedures that minimize the risk.
Examples of PPE
Eye goggles
Muffs
Face shield
Chemotherapy 🧤
Shoe coverings.
Thank you ma,I enjoyed the lesson.
I have been able to understand the meaning of assessments, mitigation, and performance in the biorisk system and it is also important to do a risk assessment before choosing to do a mitigation control measure.
I also saw that mitigation should address all risks and address them according to the risk the organisms causes to animal or human health.
I learnt that mitigation measures must address both safety and bio security.
Risk measures includes wearing appropriate PPE. It is very important that just authorized personnel should have access to the lab and dispose waste such as needles, blades, etc in the appropriate containers.
I also learnt that there are five major categories for controlling biological risks in the laboratory. I also got a clearer understanding of the engineering system and the PPE through the fun fact you illustrated.
I have done risk assessment and for me, it is safer to drive a car than a motorcycle because cars are more protective while motorcycles are more exposed than can cause more harm.
Thank you so much ma for making learning so comfortable and fun.
Thank you ma for this lesson
I also learnt that there are 5 major categories of measures for controlling biological risks in the lab, listed below from the most effective to the least
- Elimination or substitution - Engineering controls
- Administrative controls
- Practices and procedures - Personal protective equipment. I also learnt the advantages and disadvantages of using each of the above listed measures.
Lastly, I also learnt risk assessment enables us avoid waste of resources, helps us to select the right mitigation, and also address each risk appropriately. Also, mitigation measures address both bio-safety abd bio- security.
Thanks alot ma for the lectures I learnt that :
Reasons why we do risk assessments before a risk mitigation are:
Avoid wasting resources
Selection of the right mitigation
Mitigation should address all risks and also address them properly.
Mitigation control measures are:
1) Elimination of substitutions: removing the hazards, not working with the agent or replacing the hazard with something less dangerous
2)Engineering control: it has to do with physical change of working equipment, production, facilities or materials.
Examples are biosafety cabinets, Gas cabinets, Laboratory chemical hoods etc
3)Administrative controls: it includes the policies and procedures resulting in providing proper guidance for safe laboratory work practices and setting standards for behavior within the laboratory.
4)Practices and procedures: These are activities and processes that have been shown in practice to be effective in reducing certain risks and hazards.
Examples are Hand hygiene, disinfecting work surfaces daily, using of spill kits etc
5)Personal protective equipment (PPE) : These are devices worn by the workers in the laboratory to protect themselves from hazards. Examples are: laser protective eyewear, earplugs face shield, Exam gloves etc.
Thank you ma for the wonderful lecture and I learnt that
Bio risk mitigation strategies:
- Implement safety protocols (PPE, containment)
- Conduct regular risk assessments and training
- Develop emergency response plans
- Enforce access controls and surveillance
- Establish sterilization and decontamination procedures
- Collaborate with stakeholders and regulatory agencies
Aiming to prevent, control, and respond to biohazards, minimizing risks to humans, environment, and economy.
Thank you, Ma, for the insightful lecture. I gained a better understanding of the risks we face in the lab and how to mitigate them. I learned that biorisk refers to the dangers associated with handling biological materials in a laboratory setting, which encompasses both biosafety and biosecurity risks. Additionally, I understood that biorisk management is a crucial process that involves assessing, mitigating, and evaluating the safety and security risks related to handling, storing, and disposing of biological agents in the lab. Effective biorisk management is essential for ensuring a smooth and safe working environment.
Such an amazing time to learn from you again Prof. Thanks for the lecture.
In this video, I understood that Biorisk mitigation strategies are measures taken to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with biological agents.
Risk assessment is very vital as it aids us in not wasting resources on mitigation things that are not risks. Also helps select the right mitigation and ways on how to address them appropriately.
This video disclosed to me the 5 major categories for controlling Biorisk in the laboratory.
- *Elimination or substitution*
- *Engineering controls*
- *Administrative controls*
- *Practices and Procedures*
- *Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)*
These measures must be applied meticulously as it will give protection from these hazards.
In this lesson, an animation video was played, I got to discover that different mitigation measures were taken. I observed, were the Engineering controls, Administrative controls and Personal Protective Equipment.
In summary, Assessment, Mitigation and Performance (AMP) was explained completely
It covered assessment as the process of identifying the hazards and evaluating the risk associated with biological agents.
Mitigation is the action and control measures that are put in place to prevent, reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological pathogens and toxins.
Performance is the implementation of the entire bio risk management system (BRM).
Elimination/substitution as replacing the hazard with something less dangerous
I was able to understand the engineering control concept which are physical changes to work stations equipment, material e.t.c examples biosafety cabinets, gas cabinet, chemical hoods e.t.c
This lecture also explained administrative control and you gave us examples of practices and procedures for safe laboratory work practices
We also got a detailed explanation of Personal Protective Equipment
This lecture has successfully provided a comprehensive understanding of the role of AMP in managing biorisk

There are 5 major control measures in mitigation which
includes:
1)Elimination or substitution: this is the process where
those hazardous materials are been removed and also
not working with the agent or replacing the hazard with
something dangerous
2) Engineering controls: these are the physical changes
to work stations, equipment or any other relevant
aspect of the work environment that reduces exposure
to hazard e.g are; biosafety cabinet, laboratory
chemical hoods etc
3) Administrative controls: it includes the policies and
procedures that result in providing proper guidance for
safe laboratory work e.g are; training on job related
hazard,adjust work schedule to avoid fatigue and burn

Thank you Ma for this lecture
Thanks again for this informative class. This critical class serve as a guide line when dealing with biological hazard.
Biorisk mitigation strategies involve implementing biosafety and biosecurity measures to prevent accidental or intentional exposure to hazardous biological agents, ensuring the safety of personnel, the public, and the environment.
This strategies aim to minimize or eliminate exposure to biological hazard by measures like, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), Effective practice and procedure that helps to reduce risk, Policies and guidance for safety work practice and training and educating personal on biorisk management.
Another educative video Ma,
From the video I learnt that Bio-Risk mitigation strategies assess mitigation performance
Why we do risk assessment?
It saves money helps select the Right mitigation.
Without risk assessment some risks may go unidentified.
Risk Mitigation measures include;
Control access, Immunization of laboratory personnel, Treating culture supernatant, Wearing appropriate PPE
Categories of measuring and controlling biological risk include;
Elimination or Substitution
Engineering measure
Administrative measure
PPE
BIORISK MITIGATION STRATEGIZES
I learnt that Biorisk mitigation series include
implement safety protocols. P.P.E containment . conduct regular risks. assessment and training. develop emergency response plan and first access control and surveillance establish sterilization and the contamination procedure collaborate with stakeholders and regulatory agencies aiming to prevent control and respond. in summary mitigation strategies involved the implementation of precautionary major to reduce and eliminate the rate associated with biological material .some common strategic include using of personal protective equipment, implementing proper hygiene practice.
Thank you Dr for the lectures.
Mitigation is simply a means of controlling hazards in the laboratory or facility, mitigation in other words means control measures.
Risk assessment is very important as it's what makes the control necessary, mitigation addresses both Biosecurity and Biosafety.
In the 5 major mitigation procedure I think practices and procedure covers all or is the most important,
From my risk assessment driving a car is safer using elimination and substitution, since you can substitute the motor cycle for a car or totally eliminate the motor cycle and chose the car with out having any hazardous effect.
From the short video Engineering control and administrative control was the mitigation measure used to control the hazardous effect that took place.
One thing I will so differently is wear and use my personal protective equipment (PPE) properly so while saving myself I don't infect the society.
Thank you ma for this insightful teachings .
In summary, Biorisk mitigation strategies are necessary measures taken to eliminate or reduce the risk associated with biological agents,
Some of this strategies include the following:
1. Ventilation and air handling. Ie,
a. Directional airflow
b. Ventilation system
c nepa filtration
2. Containment ie,
a. It seals containment for storage annd transportation
b. Use of containment cabinet (BSC) ot fumes hood.
These strategies aims to minimize the risk of biological materials causing harm, ensuring a safe working environment and preventing potential environmental or public health impacts.
Thank you
I learned that there are series of key components of
bio risk mitigation which includes;
1. Elimination and substitution e.g working with a
less pathogenic strain of an organism or restricting
working with it at all

Effective implementation of these strategies requires coordinated efforts among governments, health organizations, research institutions, and the public.
*ASSIGNMENT*
1. *Enclosed environment*: Cars provide a protective shell that shields occupants from environmental factors and crash impacts.
2. *Advanced safety features*: Cars are equipped with airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and electronic stability control (ESC), which reduce the risk of injury or fatality.
These episode was amazing!! I learnt that for you to recognize a risk you must do a risk assessment,and mitigation strategies aim to reduce the likehood of biological hazard like pathogens.
Now i will be able to explain well about the AMP/PPE
Then for substitution you work with a less pathogenic strain or work with the pathogens organisms that behave similarly
To protect your body areas you used PPE for safety.And to carry out a risk assessment as a lab scientist you must be mindful of things like
1: elimination and substitution
2: engineering controls measure
3:administrative measure
I aslo learnt that it safer to be in a car than a motorcycle which i agree 100% for that and also a car has more PPE than a motorcycle. thanks so much ma'am!
In summary of biorisk mitigation strategies:
We made use of the AMP model.
Assessment: is the process of identifying the hazards and evaluating the risks associated with biological agents and toxins, taking into account the adequacy of any existing controls and deciding whether or not the risks are acceptable.
Mitigation: these are actions and control measures that are put in place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents and toxins.
I also learnt about the examples of PPE by body areas like the:Eyes(safety glasses, googles),Face(face shield).
The five major objectives of mitigation strategies including:
Elimination or substitution which helps to remove the hazards not working with the agent or replacing the hazards with less dangerous ones.
I will be anticipating more of these Educative videos ma

Thank you ma for this interesting lecture
In summary of the video mitigation strategies, was made to understand that mitigation's are actions and control measures that are put in place to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with biological agents.
The risk mitigation method includes elimination and substitution (I.e removing and replacing with something less dangerous),
Engineering controls (i.e physical changes to work stations), administrative control (hazard communication standard),
practice procedure (disinfecting work surfaces etc)
PPE (googles, shoe coverings, gloves)
Their advantages is that Elimination and substitution;aids immediate reduction of risks,
Engineering control is efficient
Practice procedure;adresses needs of individual labs
PPE is cheap
Also their disadvantage is that It's not always available, cost, indirect approach, training and supervision requirements and when the PPE fails, exposure happens
Well taught!!
Thank you so ma for sharing your knowledge
Thank you ma for this wonderful lecture.
In summary there are five major categories or measuures for controlling biorisk in the laboratory such as elimination or substitution, engineering control, administrative control, practices and procedures.
I also noted that risk assessment is done before choosing the risk mitigation safety so that we don't waste resource's on things that are not risks and also helps us select the right mitigation control.
Finally noting down the important advantages and disadvantages of each mitigation strategy as it helps us choose the best xomtrol measures in terms of effectiveness, cost, complexity and efficiency.

Thank you Dr iye bassey have learnt alot from this session I've gained valuable insights into effective methods for reducing the impact of biological hazards. These strategies encompass a range of measures, including stringent biosecurity protocols, robust containment systems, and thorough training of personnel. Additionally, implementing effective disinfection procedures, maintaining surveillance systems, and developing rapid response plans are crucial components. Understanding these strategies underscores the importance of proactive planning and continuous improvement to prevent the spread of bioagents, protect public health, and mitigate potential environmental impacts.
In summary of Biorisks mitigation strategy, I learnt that biorisks mitigation is the action and control measures that are put in place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agent. It involves minimizing the extent of damage or reducing the likelihood of a potential risks or threat.
The five major categories of measures for controlling biological risks in the laboratory include:
(1) Elimination or substitution
(2) Engineering control
(3) Administrative control
(4) practices and procedures
(5) personal protective equipment (PPE)
The strategies include the AMP model
In conclusion : It is safer to drive in a car than motorcycle reasons is because motorcycles has greater exposure to road hazards and accident while, cars possess advanced safety features such as an enclosed body, seat belt, Airbags etc. than that of a motorcycle.
Thank you ma'am.

Wow this video was really inciting
I learnt the importance of proper adoption of mitigation strategies
Mitigations are actions that are enacted to reduce or eliminate the risks associated bio toxins
It serves different important roles like addressing all risks and also working towards providing better safety
Some of the categories of measures of mitigation are
Elimination and substitution which involves removal of harzards or replacement with something less dangerous,
Engineering control which involves physical changes such as lab hoods, biosafety cabinets, clean bench and so on
All these done to ensure proper mitigation strategies is put in place and adopted properly
Administrative control, Practices and procedures and also Personal protective equipment
Thank you very much ma for such a knowledge filled lecture
Thank you ma for the Enlightenment.
From my own understanding Mitigation refers to the process of reducing or preventing the impact of a potential risk or threat. In the context of biorisk management, mitigation involves implementing measures to reduce the likelihood or severity of a biological risk event.
The hierarchy of controls is a framework used to classify and prioritize different types of control measures based on their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The hierarchy typically includes the following categories, in descending order of effectiveness:
1. Elimination: This involves removing the hazard or risk from the environment altogether. For example, if a biological risk is associated with a particular type of equipment, eliminating the equipment would be the most effective control measure.
2. Substitution: This involves replacing a hazardous substance or process with a safer alternative. For example, if a biological risk is associated with the use of a certain chemical, substituting it with a non-hazardous alternative would be an effective control measure.
3. Engineering controls: This involves modifying the environment or equipment to reduce the risk of exposure to a biological hazard. For example, installing ventilation systems or air filtration units can help reduce the concentration of airborne pathogens.
4. Administrative controls: This involves implementing policies, procedures, and training programs to reduce the risk of exposure to a biological hazard. For example, requiring employees to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) or implementing strict cleaning and disinfection protocols can help reduce the risk of contamination.
5. Personal protective equipment (PPE): This involves providing individuals with protective equipment, such as gloves, face masks, or respirators, to protect them from exposure to biological hazards. While PPE can be highly effective in protecting individuals, it is generally considered the least preferred option, as it relies on the user to wear the equipment consistently and correctly.
Each type of biorisk mitigation measure has its own advantages and limitations. For example, elimination and substitution are generally considered the most effective control measures, as they remove the hazard or risk altogether. However, these measures may not always be feasible or practical, depending on the specific circumstances.
Engineering controls, on the other hand, can be highly effective in reducing the risk of exposure to biological hazards, but they may require significant investment in infrastructure and maintenance. Administrative controls, such as training programs and policies, can be highly effective in reducing the risk of exposure, but they rely on consistent compliance and adherence by individuals.
Ultimately, the most effective biorisk mitigation strategy will depend on the specific circumstances and risks associated with the biological hazard in question. A thorough risk assessment is essential in determining the most appropriate and cost-effective control measures to implement.
Thank you so much for the educative session
-Engineering controls:physical changes,station,equipment,materials,production facilities or any other relevant aspect of the work environment that reduces or prevent exposure to hazards.

Administrative controls
Practices and procedures
Personal protective equipment.
• devices worn by the worker to protect against hazards in the laboratory. PPE is the last line of defense and least effective methods of control against a hazard.
For the car question, i think the car is safer because it is enclosed with doors and also have seat belts and air bags for safety measures.
And in the video of an incident i discovered yhe elimination measure where the detected substance was destroyed safely, the engineering controls like the emergency botton that alarmed the access control agencies and the PPT used
Once again thank you ma for this wonderful lecture .
Your lecture was captivating and informative.
In summary:
Biorisk mitigation strategies aim to reduce the risks associated with biological materials, such as pathogens, toxins, and genetically modified organisms. These strategies include:
1. Containment: Physical and procedural barriers to prevent exposure.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Gloves, masks, and suits to prevent skin contact and inhalation.
3. Decontamination: Procedures to remove or neutralize biological materials.
4. Ventilation and Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms (AIIRs): Specialized ventilation systems to minimize airborne transmission.
5. Access Control: Limiting access to authorized personnel and implementing security measures.
6. Training and Education: Providing personnel with knowledge and skills to handle biological materials safely.
7. Incident Response Planning: Developing protocols for responding to bio-risk incidents.
8. Regular Cleaning and Disinfection: Scheduling regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment.
9. Safe Storage and Disposal: Properly storing and disposing of biological materials.
10. Continuous Improvement: Regularly reviewing and updating biorisk mitigation strategies.
From what I learnt I would say that:
Biorisk mitigation strategies are essential for preventing or minimizing the risks associated with biological materials. By implementing these strategies, individuals and organizations can significantly reduce the potential for exposure, transmission, and harm.
The combination of physical and procedural containment, PPE, decontamination, and ventilation measures provides a robust defense against bio-risks. Access control, training, and education ensure that only authorized personnel handle biological materials and are equipped to do so safely.
Incident response planning and regular cleaning and disinfection protocols enable prompt and effective responses to bio-risk incidents. Safe storage and disposal practices prevent unauthorized access and environmental contamination.
Continuous improvement ensures that biorisk mitigation strategies remain effective and up-to-date, addressing evolving risks and technologies. By prioritizing biorisk mitigation, individuals and organizations can create a safe working environment and promote public health and safety.
For me I think driving a car is safer because if an accident occurs the likelihood of the occupants getting injured is low due to the safety equipments equiped in the car, therefore the risk associated in driving a car is low. The likelihood may be high but the consequences that may occur is low.
In contrast, in a motorcycle, there are no safety equipments, only the use of PPE is involved, therefore the likelihood of an accident occuring is high and the consequences that may occur is also high. Just like the control measure in mitigation, PPE is less protective than elimination because eliminating the risk protects more than using protective equipment.
In the short video, the mitigation controls include:
Elimination: when the hazard was detected, it was eliminated with immediate effect, thereby protecting the victim and other occupants.
Engineering controls: when the hazard was detected there were equipments that sent information to the security personnel about what was going on and the were also equipments used in eliminating the hazard.
Administrative control: there were measures implemented to prevent the risk from being high.
PPE: all the scientist and security personnel were well equipped with protective equipment.
Thank you so much Mrs Dr Eze Bassey indeed your lecture through has been a very impactful and very educative
In summary bio risk mitigation strategies aim to reduce the risk associated with biological material such as pathogens toxin and genetically modified organism these strategies include
Decontamination : physical and produces barriers to prevent exposure personal protective equipment (PPE) glove masks and suit to prevent skin contact and inhalation
Ventilation and airborne infection isolation room special ventilation system to minimize air borne transmission
From what I have learnt I would say that bio risk mitigation strategies are essential for preventing and minimizing the associated with biological material

5. Administrative measures
Watching the video towards the ending, a video came up asking A care is safer than a Motorcycle.
The answer is YES because,
Cars,
Are equipped with airbags, anti-lock breaking system and electronic stability control which reduces the risk of injury or fatality.
While
Motorcycle,
Have aby of these features, but have higher risk of fatality in crashes due to lack of protection

Should the explanation and teaching I have learned that bio risk mitigation are action that helps to reduce the risk in the laboratory. As a last scientist the mitigation control measures are administrative controls, PPE, engineering control and sub stitution etc.
Generally AMP model is also used to control risk assessment and mitigation. All that measures are AIM in order to reduce and subdue the spread of pathogens.
I thoroughly enjoyed the informative video on strategies for mitigating biological risks! The systematic process of pinpointing hazards and putting controls in place was well-explained. I valued the focus on utilizing engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment to reduce risks. The practical examples offered a tangible insight into applying these strategies effectively. The importance of ongoing monitoring and frequent evaluations was emphasized as essential for upholding safety standards. This video serves as a valuable tool for individuals seeking to improve their comprehension of biological risk mitigation practices.
Summary of Biorisk Mitigation strategies lecture video is Educating video that taught meaning of AMP: Assessment Mitigation Performance here you emphasis on the meaning of Assessment: is the process of identifying the hazard and evaluating the risk associated with biological agent and toxins , taking into accounts the adequacy of any existing control and deciding whether or not the risk are acceptable.
Mitigation refers to action and control measures that are put in place to reduce or eliminate the risks as a associated with biological agents and toxins.
Performance: it implies the entire bio risk management system such as evaluating and ensuring that the system is working the way it was design and continues improving laboratory research. I recommended the video to the academic scholar to gain the same resources as I did. Thanks Ma.

Also i learnt about the advantages and limitations of the controls
Thank you ma
Thank you ma for this interesting lecture. In summary mitigation plays an important role in the AMP model because it helps to control or reduce risks associated with biological toxins.
So therefore mitigation are the action put in place to eliminate or reduce the risk associated with biological agents and toxins.
Categories of risk mitigations are : elimination or substitution, engineering control, administrative control, practice and procedures and personal protective equipment .
It is important to know both the advantages and disadvantages to be able to decide and choose the best strategy to apply for a particular experiment .
Wonderful teaching ma, from the video I was able to learn
Mitigation is the process of reducing or eliminating risks associated with biological agents and toxins. It can be used to select the most effective bio risk strategy, ensuring resources are not wasted and hazards are addressed appropriately. There are five categories of control measures: elimination or substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, practices and procedures, and personal protective equipment (PPE).Elimination and substitution have immediate reduction of risk, while engineering controls are efficient and eliminate hazards, but have limitations such as cost, complexity, and regular maintenance. Administrative controls have authority approaches but have limitations due to the indirect approach, which primarily addresses the human factor. Practices and procedures have advantages like standard operating procedures (SOP) but also have limitations like training and supervision requirements. PPE has advantages like ease of use and affordability, but also has limitations in eliminating hazards and protecting others only.In conclusion, mitigation is a crucial aspect of bio risk management, with advantages and limitations for each type of management. By understanding these factors, organizations can develop effective strategies to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of their workers.
Thank you so much for this teaching ma
Each lecture keeps getting better and more interesting wowww😊
In summary I've learnt that risk assessment plays a very important role which helps us to prevent wastage of resources and also helps to select the right mitigation process. The mitigation process choosen should be able to address all bio risks.
Mitigation simply means reducing the possibility of being exposed to harmful biological orgarnisms.
I also learnt that they are 5 types of mitigation control which are;
1. Elimination and substitution
2. Engineering control
3. Admininistrative controls
4. Practices and procedures
5. Personal protective equipment
And also we must be able to identify the different advantages and disadvantages associated with each bio risk mitigation so as to help us pick the best.
The lesson gives us a better understanding of how to acess a risk and to be able to chose the right mitigation control for it .
Briefly, on this bio-risk mitigation I learnt that
mitigation deals with actions and control
measures put in place to reduce or eliminate
rhe risk associated with biological agents or
toxins.
Lastly, I also learnt risk assessment enables
us avoid waste of resources , helps us to
select the right mitigation,and also address
each risk appropriately. Also, mitigation
measures address both bio-safety abd bio-
security.
In Summary,Bio risk mitigation strategies talks about measures to reduce or eliminate risk associated with biological agent.Here are some of the strategies
1.Elimination or substitution:it is the removing of hazard that is not working with agents.
2.sealed container for storage and transport.
3.ventilation and air handing:NEPA filtration,directional airdrop and ventilation system.these strategies helps to prevent or eliminate exposure of biological agents by protecting humans, animals and the environment.Thank Mama for this lectures.
