<h3>Safety Check-In Form </h3>
 
<h5>Open Now</h5>
 
<p>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 <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Safety/White_List">White List</a> can help you with this.</p>
 
<p><strong>Before you acquire or use any organism/part that is NOT on the White List, you must submit a Check-In.</strong> Check-Ins allow the iGEM Safety Committee to help you ensure that you will work safely with these riskier organisms/parts.</p>

6. Safety Forms

These forms allow iGEM to know that you are doing your project safely and securely and that you are following all the rules. If you don't tell us, we don't know. If we don’t know, neither will anyone else. Fill out these forms as completely as possible. Include as much information as you can to demonstrate that your work is safe and secure, that you have identified any risks from your project, and what steps you are taking to manage those risks.

There are two forms that you can fill: The Check-In form, and the Safety and Security Form.

  • We encourage STUDENTS, instead of instructors, to complete these forms.
  • You will need an Instructor or PI to sign and submit the Safety and Security Form by the second deadline, before the Giant Jamboree.
  • While you type, the forms will automatically save your answers.

Complying with the safety and security requirements is a condition of competing at iGEM - that includes providing all the information in this form by the relevant deadlines. Failure to do so can lead to immediate disqualification from the competition and referral to the Responsible Conduct Committee.

Safety Form

All teams are required to fill the Safety Form.

June 29
An initial version of this form, with as much information as possible, is to be provided by the team.

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

Check-In Form

Any team that plans to acquire or use any organism/part that is NOT on the White List must submit a Check-In form first. Once the iGEM Safety Committee has approved your Check-In by email, you may begin your work.

Animal Use Check-In Form

If your team is using any multicellular organisms (animals, plants, insects, etc.) you will need to complete a Check-in form to tell us about any risks associated with your work and how you will be managing them.
