Playing It Safe
As budding young scientists, we have made sure to take a methodical and careful approach to our personal safety during our project. In conjunction with this, we adhered to established guidelines on conducting research with genetically modified organisms and hazardous materials to minimise the potential risks to the environment.
In order to fulfil our safety requirements for the competition, we made sure to assign a Safety Officer within the team who was responsible for communicating any iGEM safety responsibilities or guidelines between the iGEM Safety Hub and team-members. This included filling out the 'About Our Lab' form in June before the subsequent 'Final Safety Form' in September. Both of the completed forms are available to download below:
About Our Lab
Final Safety Form
As all the materials, organisms or parts used in our project fell within the designated White List, we did not need to Check-In anything during our time in the lab.
