What is new in the Web ESAF process?
The following modifications have been added to the Web ESAF process: • An ESAF MUST be approved by both the Beamline and the APS before the experiment may begin. • The ESAF should be submitted at least seven (7) days before the beginning of the experiment to allow for review by both the Beamline and the APS. • There are two forms generated automatically by the system: The Experiment Authorization (EA) form (posted in the cabinet at the end of the beamline) and the Experiment Hazard Control Plan (EHCP) posted at the station where the experiment is being conducted. Two copies of the EA form are automatically generated by the system. • Certain experiments require reviews that involve people outside of the APS and will require additional time for review. These include experiments that utilize radioactive materials (APS Radiaoctive Sample Review Committee), biohazard materials (ANL Institutioanl Biosafety Committee), human tissue/materials (University of Chicago Institutional Review Board),
