Safety
Safety Courses
Before starting any of the lab work, we completed courses provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada web page. In these courses, the whole team learned about the proper way to work in a Physical Containment Laboratory Level 2. All of the courses certified below were comprehended by the team to avoid any mistakes made inside the lab, preventing at the same time, accidents that could endanger someone.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
When being inside the lab, we have to follow certain rules, these to diminish the dangers that working inside a lab might represent. The rules go as follows:
We always wear lab coats, nitrile gloves and masks avoiding contact with dropplets, aerosols and other contaminants resulting from experiments.
Our personal belongings stay away from the lab when handling infectious materials.
The PPE should never leave the lab, unless it's appropriately packed.
We should always disinfect our hands with 70% ethanol, applying it before and after we've put on the gloves, as well as washing our hands when entering the lab and after leaving it.
