Hazardous biological agents, as defined under the Regulations for Hazardous Biological Agents, OHS Act (85 of 1993), means any micro-organism, cell culture or human endoparasite, including any which have been genetically modified, which may cause any infection, allergy or toxicity, or otherwise create a hazard to human health. They are sub-divided into four groups with Group 1 agents unlikely to cause human disease, whereas Group 4 agents may cause severe human disease and is a serious hazard to exposed persons. Determining and addressing these risks is where Strat Environment’s assessments are necessary.
