title: Risk assessment of biological hazards in the biotechnology industry.
abstract: Almost 15 years have elapsed since the discussions of the risk of biotechnology began. The tentative principles proposed years ago, that microorganisms were to be contained through the application of proper procedures and practices, and the use of proper facilities and equipment, and that the level of containment was to be matched to the estimated risk, remain applicable and of value today.
