Safety orientation

安全培训

Initially, our team underwent a comprehensive training session focused on laboratory safety. This orientation was crucial in ensuring that all team members were well-versed with the safety protocols and procedures that must be adhered to during the project's execution. The training emphasized the importance of adhering to safety guidelines to prevent accidents, contamination, and the accidental release of any modified organisms.

在实验开始前,我们的团队进行了一次以实验室安全为主题的全面培训,确保所有团队成员熟悉项目执行过程中必须遵守的安全协议和程序。培训强调了遵守安全指南的重要性,以防止事故、污染和任何改性生物体的意外排放。

Training and Certification

实验室安全培训和准入证书

In order to obtain the qualification to conduct experiments in the laboratory, each wet lab team member has successfully passed a laboratory safety knowledge test, which is a requirement that ensures everyone is equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle chemical and biological materials safely. This certification is a testament to our commitment to safety in the lab.

为了获得在实验室进行实验的资格,每个湿实验室团队成员都成功通过了实验室安全知识测试,确保每个人都具备安全处理化学和生物材料的知识和技能。

Safety Facilities in the Laboratory

实验室安全设施

Our laboratory is equipped with a range of safety facilities designed to mitigate risks and ensure a secure working environment. These include:

我们的实验室配备了一系列安全设施,旨在降低风险并确保安全的工作环境。这些设备包括:

1.Fire Extinguishers: CO$_2$ fire extinguishers are strategically placed throughout the lab for quick response to any fire incidents.

1.灭火器:二氧化碳灭火器被放置在整个实验室中,以便对任何火灾事件做出快速反应。

2.Eye Wash Stations: Positioned in close proximity to areas where chemicals are handled, these stations are essential for immediate eye irrigation in case of chemical splashes.

2.洗眼站:这些站位于处理化学品的区域附近,在化学品飞溅的情况下,对于立即冲洗眼睛至关重要。

3.Safety Showers: In addition to eye wash stations, safety showers are available for full-body decontamination if necessary.

3.安全淋浴:除了洗眼站外,必要时还可以使用安全淋浴进行全身去污。

Safety Equipment and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

实验室安全设备和个人保护设备

All team members are required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during lab work. This includes:

所有队伍成员在实验室工作期间都必须佩戴个人防护装备(PPE)。这包括:

1.Lab Coats: To protect clothing and skin from chemical spills and contamination.

1.实验服:保护衣物和皮肤免受化学物质泄漏和污染。

2.Lab Goggles: To protect the eyes from splashes and airborne contaminants.

2.护目镜:保护眼睛免受飞溅物和空气污染物的伤害。

3.Gloves: Disposable gloves are used to prevent direct contact with hazardous materials.

3.手套:一次性手套用于防止直接接触危险物质。

Collaboration with Safety Personnel

在实验安全负责人指导下进行实验

Throughout the project, we have maintained close collaboration with our institution's Biosafety Officer (BSO). This partnership has been instrumental in discussing and ensuring the safety of our project within the lab and its broader implications for society and the environment.

在整个项目过程中,我们一直与我们的实验室安全员(BSO)保持密切联系。这确保实验室内项目的安全及其对环境造成最小的影响。

Laboratory Spaces and Biosafety Levels

实验室空间布局和生物安全

Our project was conducted in various lab spaces, each designated with safety levels to match the nature of the work being performed. Activities were performed on open benches, within chemical fume hoods, or inside biosafety cabinets, depending on the specific requirements of the task.

我们的项目在不同的实验室进行,每个实验室都根据所进行实验的性质指定了安全等级。我们的实验在开放式工作台上、化学通风柜内或生物安全柜内进行,具体取决于实验的具体要求。
