Live microorganisms that are handled in microbiology laboratories may cause laboratory‐acquired infections (LAI). Safety of students in these laboratories requires observing and obeying a set of laboratory safety rules. It is essential that one becomes familiar with the food microbiology laboratory setup and safety guidelines before conducting any exercises. This knowledge not only minimizes the risk of LAI, but also leads to efficient use of time and laboratory resources. Once these rules are read and understood, students should sign a form indicating that they have read, understood, and are willing to comply with these rules. Completion of this step is needed before students can practice basic techniques and the instructor can ensure their compliance with the safety guidelines. Additionally, online or in‐person training may be required before students use certain microbiology laboratories.
