The approach to cope with any potential risk to the environment, including the risks posed by biological, must be done by a plan including a risk assessment and exposure potential, respiratory protection needs and skin, the polluting forms of penetration, exit routes and decontamination strategies.
The plans related to biological hazards should be based on relevant recommendations on infectious diseases or biological safety issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other organizations of experts, including emergency personnel for immediate response, law enforcement officials and public health.
The need to provide treatment to emergency personnel to respond immediately before and after exposure using antibiotics, vaccines and other medicines should be determined in consultation with authorized medical staff.
