 ====== On-site safety regulations ======
-OICE provides different levels of safety regulations to match the needs of all users. We have a fully S2/S1 GenTech certified biochemical laboratory. In addition all commercial microscopes are under the same safety regulations. To work within this premises implies some preliminararay administrative adjustments - before - work at OICE can be performed.
+At the OICE different levels of safety regulations are in effect to provide a safe work environment. The laboratory tract features a fully S2/S1 GenTech certified biochemical laboratory and four microscope labs that fall under the same safety category.
-Every group wishing to work under S1 or S2 conditions has to bring a copy of the Z-Form that has been acknowledged by the authorities from the Regierung of Unterfranken to the responsible PI. Also we need the so called Aktenzeichen connected to that approval to be delivered. There is no further approval neccessary. We just have to record the projects working under one of the GenTech safety regulations.

-A proof that the scientist has attended the annual saftey instruction regarding GenTech, Biological Safety and Work with Harmful Chemicals at his department has to be delievered.
+A proof that the scientist has attended the annual saftey instruction regarding GenTech, Biological Safety and Work with Harmful Chemicals at his department must also be provided beforehand.
-Finally an on site introdcution into the local safety issues will be given before first start. That will last about 30 minutes. If you want to bring in chemicals or biological substances, we have to make sure that the are listed at our local database, which can be easily done.
+Finally an on site introdcution (approx. 30 min) into the local safety issues will be given before first start. This introduction will familiarize the researchers, among other things, with:

+  - The room layout of the OICE, especially of the laboratory tract
+  - The hygenic requirements
+  - The location and handling of the emergency showers, eye-wash stations, first aid kits and fire extinguishers
+  - The location and safe handling of the gas cylinders
