Emergency Response

  1. If an alarm rings

    When you hear an alarm, do not panic., leave in a calm way, follow exit signs. Make your way to the assembly point, and wait for further instructions. 

    If the source of the hazard is part of the beam line itself: close shutters; stop work; leave the working area; trigger the alarm bell; and call and report the issue to your supervisor or the safety officer. You should then go to the assembly point and wait for further instructions.

  2. In case of an earthquake

    DROP down onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary.

    COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, get down near an interior wall or next to low-lying furniture that won’t fall on you, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.

    HOLD ON to your shelter until the shaking stops. 

    Be ready to leave using the safest and closest exit path or ask for help.

    If you are in the Main Hall during an earthquake:

    If you are inside the tunnels: go and stay under the iron girders if possible or very close, based on where you are

    If you are outside the tunnels: come close and take cover in the shielding walls of the tunnels.

    Be careful to be away from any object that can fall on you from the side or above and keep in touch and communicate with friends or colleagues.
