The first step in risk assessment for a protocol involving biohazards, the creation of a formal written risk assessment, should be performed by the Principal Investigator.
The Principal Investigator initiates the risk assessment process by completing a written risk assessment that considers all aspects associated with the pathogen or biohazard, the proposed procedures and the risks involved with them, and evaluation of the personnel who will be performing the work (their experience, comfort, health or susceptibility, their safety record and other factors).
This instrument allows care for professionals who are exposed to biological material with risk, such as seroconversion (HIV, HBV and HCV), establishing conduct of initial care, guidance and follow-up of injured workers, use of chemoprophylaxis and case notification.
