Safety Form
1. Your Training
a)Have your team members received any safety training yet?
Yes, we have already received safety training.
b)Please briefly describe the topics that you learned about(or will learn about)in your safety training.
Our fundamental training has covered the recognition of risky chemicals and certain experimental conditions, and the biosafety lessons are the first and vital classes for all teammates. Other basic training contains but not limits the area from how to design safe experiments, do the exact procedures and deal with lab waste.
c)Please give a link to the laboratory safety training requirements of your institution (college,university,community lab,etc).Or,if you cannot give a link,briefly describe the requirements.
1.Personal Safety, including body and clothing protection, eye protection and hand protection;
2.Known pathogens should never be used in the lab, and the treatment of virus, bacteria and other microscopic organisms should under states requirements;
3.Detailed recordings the facility and material useless are necessary;
2. Your Local Rules and Regulations
a)Who is responsible for biological safety at your institution?(You might have an Institutional Biosafety Committee,an Office of Environmental Health and Safety,a single Biosafety Officer,or some other arrangement,have you discussed your project with them?Describe any concerns they raised,and any changes you made in your project based on your discussion.
Assets Management Bureau in Shanghai Jiaotong University is responsible for SJTU-Biox-iGEM biological safety matter.
Our team has discussed the project under current conditions.
The main concern about out project is from the following areas, the safety of material, procedures of molecular experiment and treatment of lab waste. Based on the suggestions they offered, the material we are utilizing during the project are all from iGEM Official Foundation.
b)What are the biosafety guidelines of your institution?Please give a link to these guidelines,or briefly describe them if you cannot give a link.

Security
The bacteria(E.coli) we use are common and safe. It belongs to the Risk Group 1. We are all well trained in the field of lab safety. When we work in the lab, we pay much attention to our own safety and try to protect ourselves under all circumstances.
The plasmid constructed by us will not produce any toxic substance.
Environment
As our project is so fundamental, the engineering bacteria constructed by us will only be used in a laboratory or factory. They will not escape to the environment as long as the lab/factory deals with them properly. So the influence it can exert on the environment is negligible.
