<b>Subject:</b> [labnetwork] After Hours Policies - Wet Processing</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are in the process of re-evaluating our after-hours policies, specifically in regards to wet chemical processing (eg. HF/BOE/KOH/TMAH/Piranha cleaning). Historically, we have not allowed these processes after hours, primarily due to safety concerns.
That said, as demand within our facility grows, and the competence of our user base increases, the question has been raised as to why these processes can't be performed within a framework of proper procedures to ensure user safety (eg. buddy system, etc..)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am interested in the general approach of other facilities. Does anyone allow these processes? Does anyone forbid them? In either case what is the general reasoning for your decision? If you do allow them, what sort of protocols or policies do you have
in place to provide a safe working environment?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any feedback you may have is much appreciated!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>
