Team:Amsterdam/Project/Safety
From 2011.igem.org
Safety is of primary concern in every profession, and this is no different with research. The Amsterdam team has taken care to analyse the threats to safety involved with, and putatively caused by, their work. It was concluded that, while caution and proper lab procedure should of course be maintained, the safety of the public, the environment, their colleagues and their own personal safety should be in no significant danger during or following work on the project.

Researcher safety
While the labs in which we work are generally full of dangerous chemicals, they are stored securely and at all times treated with appropriate (pre)caution, as per ML-I regulations. Gloves and labcoats are used to protect against harmful chemicals, and material safety datasheets are available within the lab in printed and digital form.
