Safety and Security Responsibilities

All Participants

All participants are responsible for working safely in the laboratory, and for ensuring that the project complies with local laws and university/institutional guidelines. The iGEM Safety and Security Committee is not a substitute for the biosafety regulations of your country, or for the lab safety guidelines of your university. By approving your forms, the iGEM Safety Committee is only affirming that your team has permission to participate in iGEM. We cannot certify that your project is completely safe (even "safe" organisms, like E. coli K-12, can present some risks!). Likewise, we cannot certify that your project is in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations of your university/institution, local government, national government, and/or international treaties.

Team members

All team members will:

  • Carefully consider safety and security issues throughout the design, conduct and transfer of projects - consulting instructors or the iGEM Safety and Security Committee as needed

  • Follow iGEM's safety and security rules and policies

  • Be responsible and strive to be conscientious members of the synthetic biology community

Instructors

Instructors will:

  • Teach their students to work safely and securely and answering their questions

  • Be actively involved in the development and conduct of the iGEM project

  • Review and certify the Safety and Security Form

  • Ensure the project complies with all relevant international, regional, national, local and institutional rules and regulations

The iGEM Safety and Security Committee

The iGEM Safety and Security Committee will:

  • Work with iGEM communities to strengthen safety and security in synthetic biology

  • Review and approve safety and security forms

  • Perform safety and security checks on Registry parts

iGEM Foundation

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of synthetic biology, education and competition, and the development of an open community and collaboration. Visit us at igem.org
