Proposal Safety Review
The experiment information you provide is used by the Safety Office to review and coordinate potential hazards, mitigations, and appropriate training.
A series of safety related questions are incorporated into the proposal submission process, and this information is used by the user facility Safety Officer to review and coordinate potential hazards, mitigations, and appropriate training. If you want to bring hazardous equipment or substances to SLAC that were not previously indicated on your proposal, contact the SSRL/Cryo-EM, LCLS or FACET Safety Office immediately as any changes you may wish to make to your proposal must be reviewed and approved by the Safety Office in advance. Late changes that involve potential hazards may not be possible.
