Lab Safety

Prior to entering the lab for the first time, team members were given a safety briefing outlining appropriate laboratory behaviour and were made aware of the location of emergency showers, eyewash stations, fire and chemical extinguishers, fire blankets and power shut off points around the laboratory. From here on, all team members wore appropriate personal protective equipment upon entry into the laboratory, including a lab coat, enclosed and sturdy footwear and safety glasses and had their hair tied back (where applicable).








Project Safety

The E.coli strain, DH5α, we have chosen to manipulate is a safe strain as its genes cannot be transferred and it is less likely to mutate
Multi-factorial control




Australian Law

Working in an Australian laboratory places us under the Gene Technology Act 2000. This means
