Safety

1. Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues ?
The bacteria we are currently working with are defined as bio security stage 1 (S1). Our produced GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are therefor no proofed harm neither to mankind nor to the environment. Thus they are GRAS - generally regarded as safe.
We are working in a bio security laboratory of the stage 1 (S1). There is no possible access for the public. Every person working in the lab is trained and instructed by the safety rules for laboratories S1.
2. Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues?
No. All GMOs are S1 biosafety level. There is no risk of hazard or biological safety issues to mankind.
3. Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?
Yes. There is a safety officer at our institution.
