Safety - Ours
„Arbeitsschutz geht alle an!“
“Safety at work concerns everybody!” As the german proverb has it, safety was always and still is an important concern of our project. Working in a biological laboratory contains various safety hazards not just for the people working there, but also for the environment. Ranging from toxic and carcinogenic substances, to boiling agarose gels, to the release of antibiotic resistant bacteria or polluting chemicals.
To avoid all those risks and harm to any involved person, every member of our team received a general safety instruction by Dr. Nicole Gensch, one of our supervisors and the safety instructor of our institute. The instruction included all the important topics concerning the work in a S1-laboratory, such as handling and disposal of S1 organisms or toxic chemicals, first aid, personal protective equipment, hygiene in the lab, possible safety hazards and much more. All lab work was performed according to the german regulations for lab safety, GUV-R 120.
