I guess you would need to figure out what BSL-3 agents are present.
Looking at
https://osp.od.nih.gov/wp-content/up...ml#_Toc3114384 we can get a listing of what are considered BSL-3 Agents.
Now we would need to know what the lab may have had in inventory. At a minimum I would be guessing MOPP-3 and more likely MOPP-4 would be standard when entering any BSL-3 lab or area. MOPP-0 thru 2 would be bad if the lab had Fungal BSL-3 agents. Then MOPP-3 would be bad if they had BSL-3 Bacterial agents.
Just some ideas.
So I would say MOPP-4 in all cases as it is the safest.
