Difference between revisions of "Team:Tec-Monterrey/Safety"

Biosafety and biosecurity are two components of extreme importance in the development of every project, E-coding is not the exception. It was a priority for us to have biosecurity regulations, safety considerations and standards for the laboratories practices to be successful and to have a quality control in our results. There has been an issue with the biosafety education in Mexico and we believe that it is a problem that should be solved. We decided to take action and with the collaboration of our institution, Tecnológico de Monterrey and the Administration of Undergraduate Laboratories of the Bioengineering Department, we implemented a system of workplace administration named 5S. This system was applied in our university’s educational spaces with the goal of not only enhancing the appearance and experience of users in the labs but also, most importantly, to optimize the usage of materials and to mend the biosecurity.
How does it work?
“5S” works under 5 main guidelines that help achieve our goal: efficiency and safety in the lab. All students, faculty members and other laboratory users are both encouraged and expected to follow these guidelines and come up with new ideas to improve the system.
The main components of 5S are:

• Seiri: Classifying
• Seiton: Organizing
• Seiso: Cleaning
• SeiketsuStandardizing
• Shitsuke: Discipline
