iGEM Safety Checks

Filling in forms:
We discussed, checked and submitted the 'About-Our-Lab' and 'Safety' iGEM forms.

Researcher Safety: Our Ten Commandments

Wet Lab

Thou shall follow Barbara's (Lab Guru) instructions
Thou shall follow department guidelines
Thou shall minimize risks
Thou shall not take short cuts (which often go wrong and just take longer)
and above all Thou shall understand WHY ye should follow these commandments.


Hard Lab

Our 10 Commandments, being Universal and fully complied to, also apply to the Hard Lab.

Group reminders was a good way of keeping us on our toes.

Keeping ourselves Sane :P

Working in a team can be hard and to let of the steam, we devised some strategies:


Regular Coffee Breaks!
Barbecues, to sample Miha's latest chef-d'oeuvre
and the Big Brother Outlet!

Into the Future
