ABSA , NIH , BMBL 5th ed. (Section VIII Agent Summary Statements)
If you are unable to locate a documented Risk Group (RG-1, RG-2, RG-3) for an agent or unable to find a recommended containment - Biosafety Level (BSL-1, BSL-2, BSL-3) for agent/activities in the references listed above you may either contact the Biosafety Officer (BSO) or Research Assurances Manager (Certified Biosafety Professional-CBSP) for assistance or fill out the Agent Risk Assessment and Overall Risk Assessment documents and submit them with the Biosafety Form as documentation. These resources are available in the BSL-2 Manual Template. The NIH Guidelines require a risk assessment to assist in the appropriate determination when information is not readily available from a standard resource.
