There is no one in charge of the biological safety at the INSA de Toulouse. However there is an organization which includes one prevention advisor and several prevention assistants in every structure. As far as the LISBP (our structure) is concerned, Nathalie Doubrovine is the prevention assistant.<br>

All the team members have received this safety training. It lasts 1h30. It concerns fire risks, biological and chemical risks and good laboratory practices. We have made this training individually with a software designed by the CNRS and INSERM named NEO. This training ends with a questionnaire to check our knowledge. This questionnaire reminds us the basic safety rules in a molecular biology lab and gives us new knowledge about safety.<br>

We also had a training to learn how to sort the different sorts of biological waste and how they are destroyed. We also learned that we cannot use autoclave on our own because a specific training is needed. We did not do this specific training and hence did not touch the autoclave. Only our supervisors could start these autoclaves...<br>
