UC Davis iGEM 2014

General Safety Before anyone even stepped foot in the lab, the team took a day long safety course run by the UC Davis Environmental Health and Safety Department. The course covered laboratory safety such as how to dispose of waste, proper laboratory wear, and chemical hygiene plans. In addition our advisors took time out of their busy schedules to show us where all the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) were located as well as what proper protocols were used in the lab. We also learned how to safely operate all the equipment we would need for the project. By the end each team member was certified to work in a lab at the UC Davis Genome and Biomedical Sciences facility.
