LBL02001: Difference between revisions

Users of the laboratory, by being inducted by the biological safety officer, are hereby acquiring the responsibilities of individuals working in a laboratory environment. They should be made aware of and agree to be mindful of the hazards and risks that are or could potentially be present within a biological laboratory working to containment level one standards.

Further, for all procedures, the laboratory user should be aware of all other SOPs that address the kind of procedures they wish to carry out. The principal investigator for each project is required to be aware of any risks involved in carrying out their proposed project before work begins. In the case of a proposed project involving work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), a written risk assessment must be carried out and approved by a biosafety expert designated by the BSO. In case of any doubt please ask the BSO for further information.<br>
