Since the lab also would find this information useful, D. Geesaman will work with L. Cardman to come up with a form to be sent to each spokesman. Larry had already supported this idea. The board would like to see a central electronic repository for JLAB preprints and a data base to collect tabulations of JLAB results. H. Crannell will look into this further and suggest a course of action. It is planned to have Safety training as an agenda item at the next board meeting.
Appropriate training is crucial for the safe execution of experiments.
We are interested to hear comments from the users about this issue. The laboratory has promised in the past to streamline the procedures or make classes available more often, but little seems to have changed in the past two years. The next meeting of the Board is tentatively scheduled for 12 March 1999 subject to the availability of JLAB personnel.
