Pre-Arrival Requirements for Principal Investigators
All Principal Investigators who have been awarded beam
time must complete the following applicable items. Allow sufficient time to
process related documentation:
A
Safety Approval Form (SAF) must be submitted online through the Proposal,
Allocation, Safety & Scheduling (PASS) System for every
experiment at
least seven days prior to the start date of the experiment. All
experimenters must be listed on the SAF. In most cases, SAFs are valid for one
year. For PIs who are required to submit proposals, the SAF will expire
on the expiration date of the proposal or one year from the date the SAF
was approved, whichever first occurs. For questions and information
related to Safety Approval Forms, contact the NSLS
Safety Officer.
Legal requirements to protect human subjects apply to a
broad range of research activities and are directed at the ethics issues
involved with human research. Human
Tissue Research requirements apply to work involving
human bodily materials including individual human cells or tissue, blood,
urine, nail clippings, hair, and almost any other sample that is collected
from a human subject. Human proteins expressed in bacteria cultures are
NOT covered. Refer to the above link for additional information and forms.
For questions and information related to human tissue research, contact
the NSLS
Safety Officer.
- User Operating
Accounts and Telephone Access Codes
All Principal Investigators should set up operating
accounts of $1,000 for each of their experimenters to cover expenses
while at the NSLS for use of trades, shops,
stockroom withdrawals, and telephone charges. PIs should also
request telephone access codes for their experimenters.
BNL has established requirements
for the transport of hazardous and radioactive materials. All staff and
users must adhere to the requirements
for Transport of Hazardous and Radioactive Materials to BNL when making
plans to transport materials either by a commercial carrier or in rented or
personal vehicles.
