<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yes, this has been an
on-going/recurring topic.<br>
Answers inserted below for UC Berkeley this time.<br>
The number and range of these informal surveys is growing.<br>
<br>
I propose/will investigate a UGIM website hosting 2-4 key topics <br>
where results can be consolidated then reviewed at any time.<br>
Goal is to decrease network traffic a bit by pulling out the
recurring items;<br>
I do not mean to discourage discussion of these critical topics.<br>

know this has been discussed endlessly but due to the high
importance of the topic and the fact that we're on the verge
of opening a renovated clean room at CU I was hoping to
perform a quick survey to get some helpful feedback from this
wonderful network. If I get many responses I can send a
summary of the results to the list.<br>

Do you allow all wet chemical processing after hours? If not,
what are the processes which are not allowed after hours?<br>

All processes allowed at all hours. The Cardinal Rule: you may not
be in the clean room alone.<br>

Who deals with chemical spills? (staff, EH&S, users

Researchers are trained to wipe up small spills; researchers are
trained to contain large spills. <br>
Staff who have received campus defined Hazardous Materials Spill
Response Training clean up large spills.<br>

What is the emergency response to a large spill afterhours?
(let's assume for simplicity with no people affected) Is the
spill cleaned immediately? Who gets called? Do you instruct
the users to call 911 (or the equivalent in a different
country)?<br>

For non-injury spills: Researchers are trained to contain if able;
evacuate if fuming; call staff.<br>
For all injury or life threatening situation: call 911; call staff
as soon as able<br>
