Your experiment involves the study of various materials as identified in your proposal and listed on your Experiment Safety Assessment Form (ESAF). Transporting these materials to Argonne must involve careful planning and consideration. All shipments, or personal transport, of sample materials must follow the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations. Section 14: Transport Information on the MSDS identifies each material's DOT Classification. You are required to follow these instructions without exception. If you have any questions, contact your Beamline Contact before attempting transport. |
