To reach those obligations we have done a safety inspection with the help of the Safety department. The goal was to inform people about risks in presence and rules to respect. Moreover we wrote a safety manual of good laboratory practices available <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2012/5/50/Safety_manual_of_good_laboratories_parctices.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>. | To reach those obligations we have done a safety inspection with the help of the Safety department.

RISK ASSESSMENT
Explanation
Before explaining what was done, here are defined some terms.a risk
It is a possibility that a dangerous phenomenon can cause damage to a given target.A risk assessment
A risk assessment tries to define all risks in presence , evaluates the probability and the gravity of each one.Safety and Security
A difference should be made between Safety and Security. Safety intends to reduce risks in terms of accidents, incidents, damage due to them and consequences of these activities on health. On the other hand, Security deals with the misuse of devices and voluntary acts which creates risks for others. We only worked on the safety during the project.The context
We worked in the CIME-Nanotech. The laboratory belongs to the INPG safety department which took care of the team during the project. This department has the following structure:
To prevent any problems with the team, each member signed a regulation that compelled us to respect some rules:
- Work between 7 A.M. and 7 P.M. because of safety problems
- Use and do not lend the personal badge which permits to enter in the laboratory
- Do not work alone in the laboratory
- Do not eat nor drink in the laboratory
- Do not smoke in the laboratory
- Use good laboratory practices
- All products must be tagged and a stock status has to be regularly updated
what has been done
In the context of iGEM we have:- Spotted the main risks
- Reduced the chemical risk
- Checked if the UV risk was under control
- Improved the safety in biology
