The EA process is a key safety process at the Australian Synchrotron. All scheduled experiments must undergo review by the Beamline team and Safety, to help to ensure that all experiments are being carried out in a safe manner and according to regulatory and/or ANSTO requirements. Your EA form MUST be approved before the start of any onsite activities and prior to shipping any items to site. Failure to submit and gain approval for your EA within the required deadlines will result in your experiment being cancelled. |

For biological hazards (yellow cells), please contact our Lab Manager, Clare Scott clares@ansto.gov.au |
All EAs must be submitted at least 5 full working days before the date of the experiment. Any alterations to a submitted EA must be made, and the EA re-submitted, at least 3 full working days before the date of the experiment.
Your EA form MUST be approved prior to shipping items to site and prior to experiment start (remote access, mail-in OR onsite).
Only Users listed on an approved EA as either ‘Attending onsite’ or ‘Remote access’ can conduct the experiment (onsite or remotely respectively).
Each User group must nominate a Group Spokesperson; see ‘The EA form’.
Only samples/chemicals and electrical equipment (excluding laptops and phones) that have been listed on an approved EA can be brought to site. Note, the EA sample spreadsheet template has been updated as of January 2022; see ‘How to complete the EA Sample Spreadsheet’ below.
You can update your EA form after experiment start, e.g. to request to add a new onsite User or add a new sample for analysis, however your experiment at the beamline will be haledt for however long it takes to re-review and re-approve the updated form.
