Safety

Please visit the main Safety page to find this year's safety requirements & deadlines, and to learn about safe & responsible research in iGEM.

On this page of your wiki, you should write about how you are addressing any safety issues in your project. The wiki is a place where you can go beyond the questions on the safety forms, and write about whatever safety topics are most interesting in your project. (You do not need to copy your safety forms onto this wiki page.)

Safe Project Design

Does your project include any safety features? Have you made certain decisions about the design to reduce risks? Write about them here! For example:

• Choosing a non-pathogenic chassis
• Choosing parts that will not harm humans / animals / plants
• Substituting safer materials for dangerous materials in a proof-of-concept experiment
• Including an "induced lethality" or "kill-switch" device
