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 and technician), 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.
Offering everyone the safest possible working environment is a priority for the CNRS establishment. Thus, a [prevention guide] grouping health, safety and environment guidelines was always around. Safety was the pillar on which our work stood. Integrating the various procedures into our daily lab work facilitated our performance.
