First-time users need to attend the SSRL safety talk and hutch
operation training at 2 pm (meet in the Bldg. 120 URA lobby Monday-Friday
at 2
pm). This SLAC-specific training lasts approximately 20 minutes and is required
for unescorted access to the experimental floor. You will be registered for
this training when you arrive for check-in.
-
Complete the SLAC computer-based training (CBT) modules for General
Employee Radiation Training (GERT) and the prerequisite, either Safety
Orientation for Non-employees (SON) or Employee Orientation
to Environment, Safety and Health (EOESH). Get your SLAC System ID number
from URA staff; this is necessary to log on and track your completion of
web-based and computer-based training
modules. You are required to pass a GERT exam before training is considered
complete (we recommend that you review the study guides before you begin). If
you fail the GERT exam after 1 attempt, please contact URA staff. (You have a
limited number of attempts before you will be shut out of the training module and
required to register for an instructor led class). See Training & Safety Page
for additional information and links to study guides.
-
If you have valid GERT training from another facility within the last 2
years, bring a copy of this training certification to transfer that training to
SLAC. You will be required to complete site-specific safety orientation.

Once you complete the check-in process, we will issue a photo ID badge
which will allow you access through the security gates. Badges must be worn and
visible at all times. User badges are valid throughout the run year; please
take your badge with you when you leave SSRL, but bring your ID badge back with
you on subsequent visits.
-
You will be issued a quarterly dosimeter which will track any radiation
exposure during your visit to SLAC. You must leave this dosimeter with Jackie
before you depart. Upon subsequent visits, please see Jackie to pick up your
new dosimeter.
-
To use SMB sample preparation laboratories, review the instructions and
complete the agreement. List all chemicals and materials that you intend to
bring into the lab and provide copies of all relevant Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS). After you provide this information, Jackie Kerlegan will provide
the door lock combination code so that you may access the lab(s). You will be
assigned a specific workspace in the lab, which you need to ensure is clean
before you depart SSRL. Agreement Form
-
A white board will be posted outside of your assigned beam line; write
the telephone number(s) where you can be reached locally on the white board so
that you can be reached in case of emergency or if questions arise related to
your experiment during your absence.
- A representative from each user group is required to complete the End
of Run Summary at the conclusion of your experiment or shortly after you
return to your home institution. This form is available on the SSRL website:

After data have been collected, analyzed and submitted for publication,
inform SSRL and acknowledge SSRL and funding agencies in each

up-to-date publications listings for all peer-reviewed journal papers, book
chapters, conference proceedings and theses based on work conducted at SSRL.
These publication lists allow SSRL to demonstrate the scientific achievements
and productivity of users and of this facility. A reference submittal form can
be submitted by fax, mail or through the SSRL website:
