Working safety
We have carried out our project following the necessary security measures and protocols. All the protocols have been made according to good practices, according to the laws and complying with iGEM’s security rules and policies.
The laboratory where it has been developed the project, has a level of biosafety 1 (low risk) and the organisms with which we work do not present a potential risk.
During the entire time we were in the laboratory, we met security measures:
- At all times we have been supervised by the people in charge of the laboratory, who have been in charge of supervising the actions carried out and guiding us in the appropriate knowledge and techniques.
- Before entering the laboratory, we attended mandatory lectures on Health and Biosafety in the laboratory, where they also explained the protocols and actions to follow in case of emergency.
- We receive appropriate clothing and equipment to work in the laboratory: lab coats, safety goggles, respirators and nitrile and / or latex gloves…
- We had our own workspace, dedicated to the development of our project; and a space too for our meetings and to practice oir presentation and prepare our poster.
- Any waste that we produced was deposited in its corresponding container and processed in the regulatory manner.
