For quantification of risk result we use 3*3 probability – severity matrix with attention to consequence of exposure and Out come of this exposure with qualitative and quantitative assessment of control measures.
Results: This study shows 93% of exposures have moderate risk and 7% of exposures have low risks. Highest hazardous exposure related to school of public health, nerve research center and school of medicine and lowest risk was for department of immunology.
