Deadline: 30th of August 2013

Submission method: email form to the correct email list for your region:

safety_forms_asia@igem.org

safety_forms_europe@igem.org

safety_forms_north_america@igem.org

safety_forms_latin_america@igem.org

Students can complete this safety form, but it must be read and signed (electronic or hard copy) by your team's faculty advisor. Your advisor must verify the information contained in this form and sign it.

The iGEM Safety Committee must be able to easily reach the advisor with questions or other follow-up communication. If you have made changes to your project (new coding regions or organisms) you must resubmit your safety form before wiki freeze (date TBD).

Key points to remember as you complete the safety assessment process:

• For help in completing questions 1 and 2, you may find it useful to consult the Risk Groups section of the Safety Resources List [2013.igem.org/Safety].

• The iGEM Safety Committee will be reviewing your project. To avoid temporary suspensions, answer these questions completely and accurately. • The Safety Committee needs to be able to communicate with your faculty advisor about any safety concerns. If we cannot reach your advisor in a reasonable amount of time, you may be subject to restrictions at the Jamboree. • Your safety page, wiki project page and poster should be consistent with each other. If you change your project, submit an updated Basic Safety Page to the iGEM Safety Committee before the wiki freeze. (Your faculty advisor must also read and sign the updated page.) • We understand that projects may still be changing at a late date. However, large discrepancies between what you submit on the Basic Safety Page and what you present at the Jamborees may result in restrictions at the Jamboree.
