Appendix 4
Classification of biological agents
Biological agents are classified in 4 risk groups with regard to the degree of infectious risk :
1 In the case of a biological agent in Group 1, a biological agent, which is probably not causing infectious disease in humans, is considered to be a biological agent.
2 In the case of a biological agent in Group 2, a biological agent can cause infectious disease in human beings and be a danger to the staff ; there is a small risk of dispersion to society ; usually effective prevention or Processing.
3 In the case of a biological agent in Group 3, a biological agent can cause severe infectious disease in human beings and poses a serious risk to employees ; there may be a risk of spreading to society, but there are usually effective, effective prevention or treatment.
4 In the case of a biological agent in group 4, a biological agent is a biological agent that causes severe infectious disease in human beings and poses a serious risk to employees ; there may be a great risk of spreading to society ; usually there is no effective use of the system ; prevention or treatment.
May a biological agent not present in the notice of the biological agent and working environment, in accordance with the law of the working environment, not to be classified in a risk group, it is provisionally classified at the highest risk group among those who can : be talking about.
1) The commotion contains provisions which implement parts of Directive 2000 /54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18. September 2000 on the protection of workers from the dangers of being exposed to biological agents during the work (Seventh Specific Directive in accordance with Article 16 (2). 1, in Directive 89 /391/EEC), (EC Official Journal 2000 No 2 ; In 262, page 21), and parts of Directive 2013 /30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12. June 2013, on the safety of offshore oil and gas activities and amending Directive 2004 /35/EC, EU-Official 2013, nr. L178, page 66.
