| |
| - | <p>When in the lab, each member of our team is careful to use gloves, goggles, and lab coats in order to protect us from any
| |
| - | chemicals or specimens that might escape their containers. Although if some corrosive or other harmful chemical were to spill
| |
| - | on the skin or in the eye of any person in the lab, there is an eye wash station and an emergency shower located conveniently
| |
| - | in the lab. On the first day that our team was shown the lab, the locations of each of these safety measures were made known
| |
| - | to us. In addition to these, we were also shown the binder where the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for each chemical in
| |
| - | the lab is kept so that we would be able to handle and dispose of the chemicals properly.</p>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <p>Before any member of our team was able to participate in any lab work he/she was required take and pass a WHMIS (Workplace
| |
| - | Hazardous Material Information System) test. Also, before beginning our project, as a team we had to observe and perform
| |
| - | tutorials of the experiments that we were going to perform. Not only was this a fantastic learning experience, but also it
| |
| - | helped us to become more comfortable in this lab setting and therefore less likely to make a mistake and compromise our safety.
| |
| - | In addition to all of this, if any person had missed the instruction on how to use a piece of equipment properly or was
| |
| - | unclear on a protocol, there is always an adviser in the lab with us and could explain.</p>
| |
| | | | |
| - | <h1>Environmental/Public Safety:</h1>
| |
| - | <p>Although it is unlikely that our specimens would unintentionally leave our lab area or that it would cause any extreme
| |
| - | harmful effects if it did get outside of the lab, we still took precautions. The E-coli that we work with is a non-pathogenic
| |
| - | strain (DH5 alpha) and is engineered not to be able to survive outside of our laboratory. Although this is also the case,
| |
| - | each member of our team is extremely careful to keep the specimens in a sealed container and to transport it very carefully.</p>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <p>Although there is no biosafety group, committee or review board at our institution, we were required to follow university
| |
| - | risk and safety guidelines. We also deferred to the Public Health Agency of Canada – Laboratory Biosafety and Biosecurity.</p>
