Safe Lab Work
Ahead of the lab work kickoff, the team members went through a biosafety and lab security workshop held by Maialen CHABALIER (Biosafety officer), to ensure their well-being and avoid injuries or contaminations. Lab access rules and practices, personnel security, chemicals and biohazardous waste disposal were covered. Daily safety procedures included:
- Following a strict dress code: closed shoes, long pants, longsleeved lab coats, gloves, tied hair...
- Regularly disinfecting workbenches.
- Dedicating an isolated workbench for the use of toxic chemicals (GelRed nucleic acid stain, polyacrylamide...).
- Wearing a safety mask and working under an extractor hood when manipulating volatile and/or toxic chemicals or organisms (Beauveria bassiana for instance).
Safety was the pillar on which our work stood. Integrating the various procedures into our daily lab work did evidently facilitated our performance.
