Personal workspace

Workspaces can be used as a personal workspace replacing the local file system on a desktop computer or as shared workspaces for a team. A scientific workspace allows creating or uploading any kind of document or file and editing it within an ELN. Scientific workspace documents may be created from word processors or other software. Workspaces can additionally contain specialized information — like images, spectra, structures, reactions, and reaction pathways — each of which is at least available as visual representations. 

Workspace entries can be created by default in a personal mode. In personal mode, the document is visible only to the author until the entry is ready for publishing it in a team. A workspace document can be released to other users of the workspace. At this stage, the document is made available for review to a predefined list of users according to a publication policy, and only users with appropriate access rights are able to see the document. 

Personal and released files are indicated in the tree view to distinguish them easily. If a file is released to other scientific workspace members, the file can also be made available for review to a predefined list of users that are not members of the workspace. This is done by introducing a publishing level for a file. Only users having the corresponding access level would be able to see files in a scientific workspace they usually would not have access to it at all. This feature is independent from any other user membership that is, publishing a file will make it available to anyone who has access to the software, provided he has the corresponding access level. 

Personal Mode is a specihc concept of scientihc workspaces that allows creating data that are not visible to or searchable by other persons, except for authorized IT personnel. 

Scientific Workspaces are a specialized concept of electronic laboratory notebook software underlying less restrictive regulations than electronic scientific documents. They are containers designed for personal preparation of data as well as for effective organization, sharing, and publishing of information within a team. 

Housekeeping has an important role in preventing laboratory accidents. Laboratories must be kept in a neat, orderly condition. Maintenance of a clean and orderly workspace is indicative of job interest, personal pride, and safety mindedness and the training in orderliness is translated into a methodical approach to other lines of endeavor. Good housekeeping in the laboratory is the responsibility of all people working in that laboratory. 

Preparation all necessary activities to accomplish the productive work included but that do not give any added value to the final product. Such activities can be workspace preparation, machine preparation, tool and personal protection equipment, study and analysis of plans and isometrics. 

Show you care and be hospitable. If possible, provide a private workspace, escorts for individual auditors, a set of references and site information, and a point of contact to provide other materials or respond to questions. Donuts for the inspection team each day would be appreciated. Also, as correctable deficiencies are discovered, they should be corrected on the spot. During an audit, a site might consider having a second shift of one or more persons reacting to and performing corrective action if needed. 

Conceive workspaces enable students to envision new systems, reach understanding of user needs, and develop concepts. They may include both team and personal spaces in order to encourage conceptual development and reflection. 

Working posture in general can be considered in terms of task requirements, workspace design and a range of personal factors. Enforced sitting for most of a work day should be considered an occupational risk factor.
