MNF Policies on Equipment Usage and Installation
Tool Usage:
- Un-qualified people must never operate equipment unless a qualified user is supervising them.
- Qualified users are fully responsible for the actions of people they are training.
- How to become a qualified user
- You must always schedule a tool before using it. Failure to schedule time on a tool can cause you to loose your tool privileges.
- If you are fifteen (15) minutes late to use a machine, someone else may use your time slot.
- It is the user's responsibility to report any equipment problems, or operating errors in a timely manner.
New Tools
Any new tool that is intended to be placed in the MNF Clean Room must have prior approval of the Operations Committee. The request must be submitted by filling out the Equipment Installation Request form 
and returning it to the Lab Manager. There should also be a standard operating procedure written on how to operate the tool .
