The electronic log book, accessible from the web, is a very effective means
of remotely obtaining information about experimental operations. This allows
experimenters to log in remotely and view all log book
entries prior to commencing their shift.
Information which can only be recorded in the paper log book, should be
noted accordingly and communicated between incoming and outgoing shift
personnel directly.
Efficient and effective shift changeovers during experiment operation
are enhanced by overlapping shifts. Therefore, whenever possible, shift leaders
and workers are scheduled in shifts that are staggered by four hours, leading
to an overlap of half a shift.
