| + | <p> The institute for Biotechnology has set some local guidelines and rules that apply for the specific labs that we use in our lab work for this project. The labs used are approved for work with gene-modified organisms (GMOs). Prior to the commencement of work in any of these labs, every person is given the essential training. The training covers the statutory regulations and safety provisions, the use of equipment and protective equipment, fire extinguishing, first aid, use of the chemical substances index and safety data sheets, proper waste disposal and reporting. The wetlab part of the NTNU iGEM team has all attended this training and is following the set lab guidelines and rules in their work.</p> | ||
