Safety
Most of the following information can also be found on our iGEM Safety Form
Basic Safety
Before beginning work in the lab, we learnt basic lab safety. This included:
- Knowledge of fire exits
- Knowledge of first aid kit location/names of qualified first aiders in the building
- Always wearing a lab coat inside the lab
- Reading and signing the relevant COSHH forms
- How to store flammable/toxic chemicals
- How to dispose of hazardous, and potentially hazardous, waste materials.
- Good microbiological practice, such as sterilisation techniques and correct disposal of biological materials.
Risk Assessments
Alongside the igem safety form, we were also required by the University to complete a GM risk assessment for our labwork.
The dry lab team also compiled a risk assessment for their experiments, as they involved electrical devices and liquids in close proximity. Risk assessments were also required for both Science Centre Events.
