Summary of Health Risks
As this position includes conducting no contact pick-ups of saliva samples and other study materials from research participants, the health risk is the potential of coming into contact with saliva samples. While these saliva samples were previously considered “exempt human specimens”, they are now reclassified as “BSL 2 level” biohazards due to COVID 19. However, it should be noted that the pick-up procedures are no contact, the saliva samples are enclosed in several layers of protection, and personnel are provided with personal protective equipment for conducting these pick-ups and handling these samples; thus, there should be very little risk of direct contact with the saliva samples.
