<h4>Safety in the Lab</h4>
 +
</div>
 +
<p>In order to ensure our safety in the lab we had an interview with the Biohazard Safety inspector here at Warwick University. </p>
  
−
<p>On this page of your wiki, you should write about how you are addressing any safety issues in your project. The wiki is a place where you can <strong>go beyond the questions on the safety forms</strong>, and write about whatever safety topics are most interesting in your project. (You do not need to copy your safety forms onto this wiki page.)</p>

<h4>Safe Project Design</h4>
+
<p> Here we received information about the assembly points in case of a fire, and within the lab safety. Here are the key points we felt came as a result of this meeting:

 +
<br>Always wear the provided safety equipment (gloves, lab coat etc) when in the lab. Do not wear outside lab and always dispose of gloves when removed.
 +
<br>Always run a control sample.
 +
<br>Once a procedure has been established always follow it.
 +
<br>Report all accidents to a supervisor
 +
<br>Never carry out unauthorised experiments.
 +
<br>Never eat, drink or bring personal belonging into the lab.
 +
<br>Wash hands before leaving the lab.

<p>Does your project include any safety features? Have you made certain decisions about the design to reduce risks? Write about them here! For example:</p>

<h5>Emergency Response Protocols</h5>
 +
<p>_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<p>
  
−
<ul>
+
<p>
−
<li>Choosing a non-pathogenic chassis</li>
+
−
<li>Choosing parts that will not harm humans / animals / plants</li>
+
<b>Medical Emergency</b>
−
<li>Substituting safer materials for dangerous materials in a proof-of-concept experiment</li>
+
<br>It is important to remain calm in situation like these. The level of threat posed to the person's life dictates what happens next. The emergency services are to be called immediately and someone must attend to the victim's wounds. If only one person is present with the injured they must shout for help, stop any immediate dangers to the patient (i.e. stop any major bleeding) and then call 999.
−
<li>Including an "induced lethality" or "kill-switch" device</li>
+
<br><br><b>Fire</b>
−
</ul>
+
<br>Ring the fire alarm, and if the fire is small try to extinguish it or suffocate it with the various tools available.
 +
<br><br><b>Contaminant Outbreak</b>
 +
<br> people in the immediate area must be made aware, and the spill, if possible must be covered with appropriate equipment. If it is flammable all Bunsens must be turned off and depending on the severity of the spill, the lab must be evacuated.
 +
<br><br><b>Hazardous Material Splashed in Eye</b>
 +
<br>Immediately rinse eyeball in a sink provided and wash inner surface of eyelid thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. Medical attention should also be attained and the incident must be reported.
