They become more stringent

Explanation:

Biological Safety level (BSL) are a series of protection related activities that are designed to safeguard personnel in the laboratory. They are ranked from one to four based on the agent or organism being handled by the laboratory.

BSL1 is the basic lab setting that handles non lethal agents, so containment and safeguard practices are simple. As the number increases means more lethal agents are being researched in that lab therefore, it has stringent containment and safeguard practices.
