What is the lowest BSL that requires all manipulations of biohazards to take place within biological
safety cabinets or other primary containment enclosures?
BSL1
BSL2
BSL3
BSL4 - BSL3
BSL3 is the lowest BSL that requires all work to be conducted within a biosafety cabinet or other primary
containment enclosure. At BSL2, the use of such enclosures is based on a risk assessment but is not
