iGEM Safety
Our safety form was approved on September X, 2014 by the iGEM team. We filled in with the help of Nathalie Doubrovine, safety officer at the LISBP.
| Species name (including strain) | Risk group | Risk Group Source | Disease risk to humans ? |
| Escherichia coli MC1061 | 1 | DSMZ | No. These organisms do not cause disease in healthy adult humans. (However, they might cause diseases in young children, elderly people, or people with immune system deficiencies.) |
| Bacillus subtilis 168 | 1 | DSMZ | No. These organisms do not cause disease in healthy adult humans. (However, they might cause diseases in young children, elderly people, or people with immune system deficiencies.) |
| Aspergillus brasiliensis 246.65 CBS | 1 | DSMZ | No. These organisms do not cause disease in healthy adult humans. (However, they might cause diseases in young children, elderly people, or people with immune system deficiencies.) |
| Chaetomium globosum 148.51 CBS | 1 | DSMZ | No. These organisms do not cause disease in healthy adult humans. (However, they might cause diseases in young children, elderly people, or people with immune system deficiencies.) |

Ethidium bromide
All along our project, we use non-pathogenic strains and non-toxic product, except the EtBr.
We have a dark room dedicated to the use of EtBr and UV. This room is key-closed and everyone entering into the room must wear gloves, glasses and lab coat. Everything which is in contact directly with something in this room has to stay here.
Two specific garbages are dedicated to the gloves and the agarose gels contaminated
Basic safety principles
All along our project, we use non-pathogenic strains and non-toxic product, except the EtBr.
However, we have to apply the basic safety principles into a laboratory room:
- It is forbidden to smoke in all the INSA's rooms.
- It is forbidden to drink and eat in the laboratory rooms.
- It is compulsory to wear a closed lab coat in cotton.
- It is compulsory to wear closed shoes.
- Long hair must be tied back
- Oral pipetting of any substance is prohibited in any laboratory
"Precaution is better than cure"
Basic safety principles
There is also others precaution when working with biological organisms.
- We need to wash our hands regularly.
- It is compulsory to wear gloves except when working with an electric burner.
- In some case (UV light, projection risk), it is compulsory to wear protection glasses.
Indeed, different machine are used to keep a sterile area.
