Laboratory equipment can be dangerous if users are unaware of the potential safety hazard. Thus, we strive to make sure our team members have a solid understanding before we operate.
Safety Considerations of our Project Design
Organisms:
Lab Safety:
Although we do not wear lab coats and goggles for most of the time, we have strict rules on attire. We wear closed-toed shoes, wear gloves, and wash our hands thoroughly before we leave the lab. In addition, we never eat/drink on the bench, and ensure that we clean up our lab space after each day.
