Knowledge evidence

  • commonwealth, state or territory legislation and regulations relevant to managing biohazards and controlling infestations
  • industry and workplace standards for managing the traceability chain of biohazard documentation
  • characteristics of a range of potential biohazards present in forest and wood products industry operations, including:
  • fungal hazards
  • viral hazards
  • bacterial hazards
  • insect hazards
  • vertebrate hazards
  • methods used to control biohazard infestations and limit the spread:
  • eradication
  • quarantine
  • fumigation
  • use of pesticides
  • use of biological controls
  • culling of infected plants
  • economic impacts of biohazard infestations and methods used to estimate monetary losses:
  • loss of forest values
  • loss of current markets
  • loss of potential markets
  • damage to trading status
