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

PROJECT SAFETY FEATURES

  • Our experiment used non-pathogenic strains of bacteria for all experiements
  • All parts investigated are safe for all animals, humans, and plant-life
Safe Lab Work

DAILY SAFETY PROCEDURES

  • At the beginning of the project, all members were required to complete the University of Iowa's Environmental Health and Safety courses related to working with bacteria and the necessary lab equipment
  • Students were expected to understand and follow diligently the course material in such a way that paid respect to the gravity of the health risks at hand

Safe Shipment

Did you face any safety problems in sending your DNA parts to the Registry? How did you solve those problems?
