Division 7 Selection of the containment and other protective measures should then be made on the basis of the level of risk associated with the GMMs together with consideration of:

1. (i)

   the characteristics of the environment likely to be exposed (e.g. whether in the environment likely to be exposed to the GMMs there are known biota which can be adversely affected by the micro-organisms used in the contained use activity);

2. (ii)

   the characteristics of the activity (e.g. its scale and/or nature);

3. (iii)

   any non-standard operations (e.g. the inoculation of animals with GMMs; use of equipment likely to generate aerosols).

Consideration of items (i) to (iii) for the particular activity may increase, reduce or leave unaltered the level of risk associated with the GMM as identified under point 6.
