Safety in the Lab

Concerning our institution, safety in INSA Toulouse

INSA Toulouse is a public school, which have some laboratories used for public research. Everybody in the INSA must also follow the French word code, which legislates for respect of environment, workers and public safety. Most of the rules we have to follow are presented on the manual “Manuel de sécurité en laboratories” (from the WHO), which permit us to know almost everything we have to know about safety with microorganisms we use and products we manipulate. In addition, daily use of Deming wheel allows us to improve the safety system and keep it updated.

Concerning the laboratory

Worker protections

As in every lab, we use conventional protection when manipulating. Every experiment has to be made with gloves and a conventional lab coat , protecting the worker and avoiding contaminations. We also wear glasses when they are useful (UV exposition, EtBr using, hot water manipulations, chemicals manipulation…).

Waste gesture

After a formation of chemical waste gesture and biological hazard, we learn how to use different trash cabs as described in the picture. Biological wastes, potentially containing viable microorganism, are firstable autoclaved in a special bag, then discard on the classical way. Chemical waste are regrouped and treated every month together with wastes of other labs of the campus.
