Safety in the Laboratory

Safety Instructions

The objective of the Safety Instructions (SI) and Operating Instructions (OI) is to achieve that in the Cell Biology Laboratory the work will be done in a safe manner.
- Laboratory Instructions: Short rules for working in a biological laboratory.
- Safety Instructions: A short review about the hazards and the protective measures for groups of reagents with similar physico-chemical characteristics (SIG) or for certain working areas (SIP).
- Operating Instructions: A short manual how to use some equipment in a correct manner (OI). Working with dangerous reagents it is obligatory to inform yourself about the specific risks of each reagent (e.g. Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS).
Finally, there are also some other international documents and links respective to laboratory safety.
