< back to policies table of contents > facility policies : general policy A. General Policy A.2 NO equipment or supplies are to be “borrowed” or removed from the EMF. Missing equipment may be assumed to be stolen and will be reported as such. A.3 ALL first time users of the EMF must see Dr. Edelmann or Mr. Duley BEFORE beginning any work. ALL new users must contact the EMF Staff, and we will provide ALL initial introduction, training, and explanation of policies for ALL equipment (including computers) this places the liability for misuse / damage, etc. on the EMF staff. If there are specialized techniques which have been developed by specific laboratories, then AFTER the initial EMF staff training, these specialized protocols or techniques can be taught by someone most familiar (possibly outside of EMF staff) with them. A.4. Unauthorized use of items & supplies stored in specifically designated user cabinets and/or drawers will not be tolerated. Space is generally available for users to store limited amounts of research supplies within the EMF. These are NOT general EMF supplies and users must respect the rights of others. A.5. ALL equipment located in the EMF is available for Everyone’s use. (See the Equipment section below for details). A.6. Breakage and equipment failures. Accidents do happen and equipment does need occasional maintenance. In order to help the EMF staff to meet the needs of our users on a timely basis, if you break something, know or suspect something is not operating properly, notify the EMF staff so that we can fix or replace the item. A.7. Notify the EMF staff of low supply levels. A simple memo on the board in either the SEM or TEM Laboratory is acceptable. A.8. Users are to sign logbooks. The logbooks enable the EMF to keep track of users, and shifts in activities within the EMF. We do review the log books regularly and use them as a source of information for problems or potential problems. A.9 Equipment and darkroom reservation. See Section C.4 A.10 EMF Access times. The EMF is available to qualified users 24 hours/ 7 days a week. The EMF staff is available for assistance Monday - Friday, 8am-5pm (not including University holidays).
