Safety

ES&H - The Office of Basic Energy Sciences' safety policy statement:
The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) is committed to conducting research in a manner that ensures protection of the workers, the public and the environment, and it is a direct and individual responsibility of all BES managers and BES supported researchers and their staff. Funds provided by BES for research will be applied as necessary to ensure that all BES research activities are conducted safely and in an environmentally conscientious manner. Only research conducted in this way will be supported.

The message is valid for all our activities. We all have a responsibility towards maintaining and promoting safety in our day-to-day lives and assuring that we minimize our impact on the environment. So whether you're at home, at the office or on the experimental floor, take the time to consider your safety and health, and that of your colleagues, co-workers, friends and family, and how best you can protect it.
