         <h3>Laboratory Safety</h3>

         <p>Risk assessments and COSHH forms were carried out to cover all work conducted within the laboratory. Safety training was also provided by the School of Biological Sciences and the UK Health and Safety Legislation was followed. Please click on <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/biosafety/gmo/law.htm" target="_blank">GMOs and the Law</a> and <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/biosafety/gmo/acgm/acgmcomp/" target="_blank">The SACGM Compendium</a> to be taken to the respective page.  At the beginning of the laboratory work, we received safety training from advisors and laboratory technicians as to what to do in emergencies and the disposal of contaminated equipment and specific chemicals. Details on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and their use were also provided. Good laboratory practices were also carried out, these include: washing hands thoroughly before leaving the laboratory, no use of mobile phones, no over-carrying of equipment, autoclaving of contaminated waste, correct use of fume-cupboards and no eating or drinking within or near the lab. Instructional videos for the safe and correct use of equipment and techniques can be found at UEAs School of Biological Sciences <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ueabiohd" target="_blank">Youtube channel</a></p>

         <h3>Public Safety</h3>

         <p>We also take into account of the safety of colleagues and the public. For this reason, only authorised personnel are permitted within the laboratory within proper supervision. Precautions were taken to ensure that all contaminated material was disposed of in the correct manner either by disinfectant or placed in bags and autoclaved. Lab coats are removed and hands are washed thoroughly before leaving the lab and entering public spaces.</p>

         <h3>Environmental Safety</h3>

         <p>There is a low risk of any bacteria being released into the environment as all organisms are stored securely within the lab. All windows are closed to further reduce risks and everyday equipment is disinfected. To prevent the risk of <i>Agrobacterium tumafaciens</i> transfer to the environment after infiltration into <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i>, all plants were autoclaved and/or incinerated.</p>
