Safety Check-Ins
You should submit a Check-In before you acquire or use certain materials in your lab or before you undertake certain types of activities. Specifically, you should send us a Check-In for any organism, part, or activity that is not on the White List. We expect to reply to most Check-Ins within a few days. If you have not heard back from us in a week, please email safety [at] igem.org.
Check-Ins are a way for you to quickly and easily ask iGEM's safety experts to review your plans for safely acquiring and using a higher risk organism/part/activity, and to approve your plans or suggest changes.
We encourage STUDENTS, instead of instructors, to complete this form. Please provide as much detail as possible.
Once the iGEM Safety and Security Committee has approved your Check-In by email, you may begin working with the material (organism or part) or activity. You may Check-In for as many organisms/parts as you wish, and any team member may send a Check-In at any time until the Jamboree.
While you type, this form will remember your answers. When you are finished, press the "Submit" button at the bottom to send your form to the iGEM Safety Committee.
If you need help, or if you are unsure whether an organism/part requires a Check-In, email safety (at) igem (dot) org to ask.
Frequently Asked Questions about Check-Ins
The Safety Forms are not open for submission. You may review the questions below, but teams cannot submit any information until May 1, Opening Day. Please email safety [AT] igem [DOT] org with any questions.
