Most biological risks arise from the presence of microorganisms in the work area. The potential for exposure to microorganisms could be incidental to the work being done (as on the University farms or the Grounds section), or could arise because of an intention to work with microorganisms. In all cases, risks to health and/or safety must be properly assessed before the work starts, and appropriate measures put in place to adequately control the risks.

The COSHH Regulations require that any item of respiratory protective equipment must be fitted and worn correctly - this also means that the equipment selected must be suitable for the wearer. To this end, a "face-fit" test should be performed to ensure that the RPE is suitable, effective and fitted properly. HSE have produced an "operational circular" giving guidance on fit testing. Although intended for use by Inspectors, it is very useful in telling the "customer" what the Inspector will be looking for, and the basis for any enforcement action to be taken.
