Safety

As a high school team, safety is paramount, and following safety rules are essential in any lab environment. In addition to standard protocols, we must be diligent in safety, as our workspace doubles as a lab and a classroom. We must follow the standard rules to protect both us and our samples as well as to guarantee the safety of teammates and peers alike. This signifies that every individual, regardless of concurrence or participation is the team, must comply and practice the safety procedures.

To eliminate any unnecessary risk factors in relations to public safety, we made sure that all of our organisms are non-pathogenic. We created designated waste disposals for any biohazards, which are separated from the rest of the student body and are properly autoclaved. We also created separate disposal sites for our pipette tips, due to a previous issue of ripping trash bags and spilling around the campus. Through these measures we have managed to make our project reliably safe, eliminating any concerns and possible hazards.

Some of the lab safety protocols that we follow include:

Asia demonstrating proper saftey
Wearing proper protective gear such as lab
coats, goggles, and closed toed shoes. If we
are using an autoclave, we take the extra
precaution of a face shield.
Team eating outside
Eating and drinking in designated areas and
keeping food from the lab space.
Gloves being used
Wearing gloves while dealing with anything
that is sensitive or possibly contaminated
Hair being tied up
Keeping our hair back and tied up while in the lab.
Clean Lab
Keeping a meticulously clean lab space through
organization and disinfection with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
A Clearly Labeled Plate
Clearly labeling everything.
Gif of Sam with clean gloves
Washing hands before and after labs.
