All visiting scientists must successfully complete our online safety tests prior to arrival for experiments in the CLF. Tests can be taken multiple times, and no time limits are in place. They are valid for two years after completion.
Please read the relevant safety information before taking the associated tests. The following sections must be completed:
Section 1 – General Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) safety
Section 3 – Laser safety overview
Section 4 – Ionising radiation safety (HPL users only)
Section 5 – Standing orders for experiments
Specific safety induction slides relevant to users of CLF facilities located in the Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH) can be viewed here:
RCaH CLF users safety introduction
We require all people working in our laser laboratories to have watched the laser safety video. Several versions exist that can be viewed on site. Required modules are:
- laser controlled areas
