Safety Check-In Form

Open Now

Some organisms and parts present risks beyond what is ordinary for lab work in synthetic biology. As your project progresses, you should consider the risks presented by each organism and part you plan to use. The White List can help you with this.

Before you acquire or use any organism/part that is NOT on the White List, you must submit a Check-In. Check-Ins allow the iGEM Safety Committee to help you ensure that you will work safely with these riskier organisms/parts.

Safety Form (Preliminary)

Due Date: June 29, 2018

We want you to explain:

1. What risks might be connected to your project now or in the future (Part 1);
2. What procedures, practices and containment provisions you are using to manage the risks you identify (Part 2); and
3. That you are complying with iGEM’s safety and security rules and policies (Part 3).

An initial version of this form, with as much information as possible, is to be provided by the team by June 29th. The form should NOT be signed off by the PI.

IMPORTANT: You must update this section if your primary project idea changes.

Safety Form (Final)

Due Date: September 7, 2018

The form should be updated throughout the project whenever there is a change that alters possible risks or the procedures, practices and containment provisions being used to manage them.

A final version of the safety form must be signed off by the PI by September 7th.

(Please note, that you will need to plan ahead - your PI being unavailable or on vacation is not an acceptable excuse for late submission of this form)
