SMTP Lab Safety Briefing (SMTP and Cat 1 Students)

Generalbull Students can only work in the lab in the presence of

a teacher or lab staffbull Booking of equipment and requests for materials

must be made to at least 3 days prior to experiments with mentor kept informedMdm Lim Bio lab (limcfhcedusg)Mdm Xia Chem lab (xiayinghcedusg)Mdm Chua PhysicsPhotonics

bull SRC Tel no 64680379

General rules

bull Please keep lab tidy at all timesbull Spills must be cleaned immediately to avoid

contaminationbull Gloves must be worn when handling

hazardous materialsbull Chipped or broken glassware should never be

used Please give these to lab staff for disposal

General rulesbull Centrifuges must be balanced before operation

Scientific Review Committee (SRC) Approval

bull Apply for approval (through your mentor) from the Scientific Review Committee if your project involves any of thesendash Potentially hazardous biologial agents

(eg bacteria)ndash Vertebrates

Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval

bull Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval required for studies involvingndash Human Subjects

bull An IRB must includendash A science educatorndash A school administrator (Principal or VP)ndash A medical doctor physicianrsquos assistant registered

nurse psychiatrist psychologist licensed social worker or licensed clinical professional counsellor

SRC Approval

bull Approval from must be submitted to Mrs Goh Cheng Wai before the commencement of your projects ( see Mrs Gohrsquos EMB msg)

bull SMP groups will submit forms to Mr Chia KP

Research Projects

bull Students working in Research labs must wear a lab coat These should be folded and placed on designated shelves when not in use (ref Lab staff)

bull In bio labs laminar hoods --- perspex shield must be in place if UV light is turned on

Microbiology Projects

bull All microorganisms must be treated as potential human pathogens

bull Only Biosafety Level 1 organisms can be usedbull Microorganisms should not be isolated from

potentially hazardous sources egs polluted water human mucus pus and faeces

bull All microbial cultures and culture media must be labelled date name of student amp teacher

Microbiology Projects

bull BSL1 low risk to individual and the communitybull BSL2 moderate risk to individual but low risk to the

community Can cause diseases in human but unlikely to be serious hazards to lab users under normal circumstances

bull BSL3 high risk to individual but low risk to community Usually cause diseases in human treatable with anti-microbial agents not contagious

bull BSL4 high risk to individual and community Usually cause serious diseases in human untreatable and contagious

Prohibited work

Studies involvingbull Fresh tissue blood or body fluids from

humans or vertebratesbull Human or animal blood or blood productsbull Human or vertebratemammalian cell tissue

cultures

Approved work

Studies involvingbull Plant tissuebull Cheek cells (but not cultures)bull Meat or meat by-products obtained from

food stores restaurants or packing housesbull Hairbull Sterilised teeth

Disposal of sharps

bull Sharps --- needles scalpel blades micropipette tips glass slides cover slips

Sharps bins

Decontamination

bull Autoclave or bleach all cultured organisms esp microbes before disposal

bull Disinfect work surfaces if microbes were used --- swab with 70 alcohol

Reminder

bull Young Explorersrsquo Fund (YEF)bull Capped at $2000 a groupbull Can apply any time ndash submit forms to mentorsbull Forms on SMTP webpage

Risk Assessment

SMTP Research Session

bull Risk assessment is needed for all Cat 1 projectsbull To be completed by students reviewed and approved

by mentorbull Before experiments begin risk assessment to be

submitted to SRC - Mdm Lim (for bio projects)- Mdm Xia (for chem projects)- Mdm Chua (for phy projects)

bull SMTP students will complete risk assessment together with proposals Mentor to submit to above personnel after heshe approves

Risk assessment

Risk Assessment Documents

bull SRC Equipment Risk Assessmentbull Risk assessment form

Both forms will be available from SMTP wiki

How to complete risk assessment

bull For risk assessment of equipment refer to resourcesSMTP wiki

bull For chemicals search for MSDS online look for info on possible hazards and measures to reduce the risks

bull For micro-organisms check out on- biosafety level of bacteria- possible infection- handling precautions

Useful sites for biology projects

Microbiology Projects

bull All microorganisms must be treated as potential human pathogens

bull Only Biosafety Level 1 organisms can be usedbull Microorganisms should not be isolated from

potentially hazardous sources egs polluted water human mucus pus and faeces

bull All microbial cultures and culture media must be labelled date name of student amp teacher

Microbiology Projects

bull BSL1 low risk to individual and the communitybull BSL2 moderate risk to individual but low risk to the

community Can cause diseases in human but unlikely to be serious hazards to lab users under normal circumstances

bull BSL3 high risk to individual but low risk to community Usually cause diseases in human treatable with anti-microbial agents not contagious

bull BSL4 high risk to individual and community Usually cause serious diseases in human untreatable and contagious

Prohibited work

Studies involvingbull Fresh tissue blood or body fluids from

humans or vertebratesbull Human or animal blood or blood productsbull Human or vertebratemammalian cell tissue

cultures

Approved work

Studies involvingbull Plant tissuebull Cheek cells (but not cultures)bull Meat or meat by-products obtained from

food stores restaurants or packing housesbull Hairbull Sterilised teeth

Disposal of sharps

bull Sharps --- needles scalpel blades micropipette tips glass slides cover slips

Sharps bins

Decontamination

bull Autoclave or bleach all cultured organisms esp microbes before disposal

bull Disinfect work surfaces if microbes were used --- swab with 70 alcohol

Reminder

bull Young Explorersrsquo Fund (YEF)bull Capped at $2000 a groupbull Can apply any time ndash submit forms to mentorsbull Forms on SMTP webpage

Risk Assessment

SMTP Research Session

bull Risk assessment is needed for all Cat 1 projectsbull To be completed by students reviewed and approved

by mentorbull Before experiments begin risk assessment to be

submitted to SRC - Mdm Lim (for bio projects)- Mdm Xia (for chem projects)- Mdm Chua (for phy projects)
