COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES

1) Occupancy. Occupancy in the CAF is limited to one person at a time. Just check for the GO and STOP signs before entering the room. Flip the sign accordingly once you are in or leaving the room.
2) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). All facility users and staff must wear masks and clean gloves in the CAF. It’s also recommended to wear safety glasses. Meanwhile, clean gloves can be used on keyboards. Gloves will be supplied by the facility. Users must supply their own masks and glasses. If for any reason gloves are not used due to specific issues of the experiment, use hand sanitizer frequently and put gloves on as soon as possible.
3) Scheduling Instruments. No change in scheduling, so that users should request time as usual with a minimum of two days in advance.
4) Data Review. Data from walkup instruments can be reviewed at the instrument if the user schedules additional time (no charge) and follows occupancy, PPE, and cleaning requirements.
5) Discussion of Results. All meetings to discuss sample results with users will be conducted by Zoom or email. Email Giovanni Gonzalez-Gutierrez (giovgonz@indiana.edu) to schedule a time for Zoom meetings.
6) Cleaning. Each user is responsible for wiping down the keyboard, mouse, work surface, and any touched surfaces with disinfectant prior to and at the end of their session. Ethanol spray bottles and paper towel will be provided.
7) Training of New Users. Training of new users will temporarily be suspended until further notice. We are in the process of recoding videos to train all new users, so that trainings will not be performed in person, although a Q&A zoom session can be scheduled in order to respond specific problems.
8) Adherence to Guidelines. Facility users who do not adhere to these guidelines will be asked to leave, and if needed, advisors or supervisors will be notified.
9) Questions. Please direct questions to Giovanni Gonzalez-Gutierrez (giovgonz@indiana.edu)
