Point 2: Biosafety & Lab management

(Vanessa, 3 min)

Things to get done (by Yann P. on the slack)

• Attach the eye washers with the instructions against the wall next to the sink
• Find the bandaid box / medic box we had and put it in evidence somewhere in the lab (preferable close to the eyewashers)
• Make sure we have a fire extinguisher. Put it on the left of the sink
• Subscribe for a a "responsabilité civile" insurance (Model of the makerspace option 1)
• Inventory control system

• Should we have a Biosafety guide/instruction/manager? (Chemicals, biohazard containers for autoclave or bleach...)

Luc: Yes! But everyone should get basic intro (like in the makerspace)! Let's schedule one 15 minutes introduction each Wednesday, and match with the members list.
Yann : Absolutely, it's important members get to know how a microbiology lab works. Currently the lab is not in a state for making microbiology IMO (safety wise and in terms of good laboratory practice).
