General Safety Procedures
The Dalhousie iGEM team completed the biosafety training and WHMIS prior to starting the project under the instruction of graduate mentors. The biosafety and WHIMIS courses are an extensive biosafety online training that guides the student through many fields of safety in the lab. The online modules addressed:- Personal Protective Equipment (such as gloves, lab coats and safety goggles) in which our team has been committed to
- Chemical waste: all waste was autoclaved and disposed in its appropriate container by members of the Dalhousie iGEM.
Laboratory acquired infections
In addition to the general safety training, the Dalhousie iGEM laboratory was equipped with 2 fire extinguishers, a spill kit, eye wash stations, and a safety shower. All Dalhousie iGEM members have successfully completed the online training and obtained their WHIMIS and biosafety training. The team also underwent subsequent laboratory training pertaining our project.Project specific safety procedures
The Dalhousie iGEM mentors conducted multiple dry workshops to go through project specific laboratory protocols with all members prior to conducting any experiments. After that, all members were trained for all protocols at the supervision of the mentors in the laboratory. In addition, our project required some additional safety measures such as:![](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/7/73/Dal_jacobflamming.jpeg)
