(*) EU - May present a limited risk of infection for workers because they are not normally
infectious by air-borne route. Member States shall assess the containment measures to be
applied to such agents taking account of the nature of specific activities in question and of
the quantity of the agent involved, with a view to determining whether, in particular
circumstances, some of these measures may be dispensed with.
