Safety Features of our labs
As our wet lab is divided into cell experiment and bacterial experiment,
our team is working partially in biosafety levels 1 and 2 classified labs.
All of the team members had to follow multiple introduction sessions given by the lab technician of each lab.
These introductions elaborately covered safety policies and rules inside the specific labs. The location of
all safety equipment was shown during our training.
Experimentation is conducted in our lab of which is equipped with safety features including:
1.Biosafety Cabinet
2.First Aid Kit
3.Extinguisher
4.Flame Retardant Benches
5.Spill Kits
6.Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Safety tests (required by school)
Before students can access and work in a laboratory at Westlake University,
they are mandated to complete and pass safety courses meticulously developed by our Lab Asfety Education and
Training Platform.
This ensures that students working in our labs are well-informed about the inherent risks associated with
laboratory work and are proficient in implementing measures to prevent and manage potential accidents.
Waste Disposal
Students are reminded to diligently label all solutions and plates and to ensure the proper disposal of waste
materials into their respective bins.
Separate bins are provided for general waste, bio-hazardous waste, and gloves. Items such as pipette tips,
gels, Eppendorf tubes, and Falcon tubes used during experiments are disposed of in biohazard waste bins.
The contents of these bins are subsequently handled by more experienced personnel.
Furthermore, students conducting experiments in the laboratory are continually supervised by qualified
advisors and strictly adhere to designated working hours. measures to prevent and manage potential accidents.
