What is a Notary Public?
A Notary Public is a public servant appointed by state government to witness
the signing of important documents and administer oaths.
How does a Notary identify a signer?
Generally, the Notary will ask to see a current identification document or
card with a photograph, physical description and signature. A driver’s
license, military ID or passport will usually be acceptable.
Does notarization make a document "true" or "legal"?
No. A notarization typically means the signer acknowledged to the Notary
that he or she signed the document or vouched under oath or affirmation that
the contents of the document were true.
Below is a list of people that are current Notaries Public:
Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.
In the event of an emergency, service is available for transport to local hospitals,
dial 2222 or 911 from a laboratory telephone.
The Health Promotion program sponsors health education lectures, workshops,
weight watchers, screening and health fairs for employees, their families,
visitors, and guests. For further information contact ext. 8612, or go to: http://www.bnl.gov/HR/OCCMED/.
Lyme Disease and West Nile Virus are two common health issues on Long Island:
Lyme Disease - This disease is carried by deer ticks. An infected tick can transmit the spirochete to the humans and animals it bites. Be
alert for symptoms which may include a red rash (especially surrounding the tick bite), flu-like symptoms, or joint pains in the first month
following any deer tick bite. If diagnosed and treated early with antibiotics, Lyme disease is almost always readily cured. Insect
repellents with DEET in them can reduce the risk of tick bites. DEET is a chemical and should be used according to manufacturer’s directions.
West Nile Virus - This virus is a rare mosquito-borne infection that can cause fever and headaches and in some cases neurological
disorders. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn (just before sun rise) and at dusk (just before sunset). Limiting your time outside during those
periods will limit your chances of being bitten by a mosquito. Insect repellents with DEET in them can reduce the risk of mosquito bites. DEET
is a chemical and should be used according to manufacturer’s directions.

One of Brookhaven National Laboratory’s highest priorities is ensuring
that the Laboratory’s environmental performance measures up to its world
class status in science. Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), the contractor
operating the Laboratory on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy, takes
environmental stewardship very seriously. As part of their commitment to
environmentally responsible operations, they have established an
Environmental Management System (EMS).
An EMS ensures that environmental issues are systematically identified,
controlled, and monitored. Moreover, an EMS provides mechanisms for
responding to changing environmental conditions and requirements, reporting
on environmental performance, and reinforcing continual improvement. The
Laboratory’s EMS was designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the
globally recognized International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
14001 environmental management standard, with additional emphasis on
compliance, pollution prevention, and community involvement.
This policy is consistent with BNL’s research interests, ethics, and shared
values. We commit to continual improvement in environmental, safety,
security, and health (ESSH) performance. We will set goals, measure
progress, and communicate results. Compliance with this policy is the
responsibility of every employee, contractor, and guest. Specifically, we
commit to the following:
Employees, Contractors and Guests: We will provide a safe and healthy
workplace, striving to prevent injuries and illnesses, promoting healthy
lifestyles, and encouraging respect for the environment. We will ensure our
employees, contractors, and guests have the awareness, skills, and knowledge
to carry out this policy.
Compliance: We will meet all applicable ESSH laws and BNL Standards Based
Management System, Integrated Safety Management, and Integrated Safeguards
and Security Management requirements.
Integration: We will integrate ESSH principles into our research and
operations activities. We will integrate hazard prevention/reduction,
pollution prevention/waste minimization, resource conservation, security,
and compliance into all of our planning and decision-making. We will adopt
cost-effective practices that eliminate, minimize, or mitigate environmental
impacts and control safety, security, and health risks and vulnerabilities.
Security: We will work in compliance with DOE’s ISSM Program and
systematically integrate safeguards and security into management and work
practices at all levels, so that the laboratory missions are accomplished in
a safe and secure manner.
Sustainable Development: We will strive to conserve resources and minimize
or eliminate adverse ESH effects and risks that may be associated with our
research and operations. We will manage our programs in a manner that
protects the ecosystem and employee/public health.
Stakeholders: We will work with our stakeholders to help them address their ESSH needs.
We will maintain a positive, proactive, and constructive
relationship with our neighbors in the community, regulators, DOE, and our
other stakeholders. We will openly communicate with stakeholders on our
progress and performance.
Community and Government: We will participate in community and government ESSH initiatives.
We will define, prioritize, and aggressively prevent, correct, and/or clean up existing environmental,
security, and occupational safety and health problems.
As part of your employment and/or assignment, you will receive specific
job safety training. All necessary safety equipment and training
should be subsequently made available to you through the department in which
you work. Rules on radiation safety, general safety, fire safety, traffic
safety, industrial hygiene and environmental protection must be carefully
followed. Do not enter any areas that are posted with any of these warning
signs. Let your supervisor know if you have a safety concern.
Disposal or release of any and all oil, or hazardous materials into trash
containers are strictly forbidden. Contact an ESH&Q representative at:
http://www.bnl.gov/esd/ESHQEMS/ for assistance with proper disposal guidelines.
Upon sounding of the BNL site sirens,
residents of the apartment area shall proceed indoors, close all windows and
doors, and await further instructions from the Fire Dept or the Local
Emergency Coordinator (LEC). The front entrance of the housing units
displays the building manager and emergency contacts.
Please familiarize yourself with the locations of fire extinguishers and how
to use them. In the event of an emergency dial 2222. Alarm
testing is done periodically in the apartments and dormitories.
In the event of an emergency such as medical, fire, hazardous chemical
spills, or serious injury, dial 2222 or 911 from a Laboratory telephone or pull the nearest fire alarm box.
Do not alter power cords or electrical outlets. Doing so
can produce dangerous results. If you need to convert a European
plug, this should be done via an approved plug adapter. These adapters are
an interface that attaches between the European plug and the American
socket. Power converters adjust the voltage. Adapters and converters
can be purchased at the BERA Store, the Housing Office, Radio Shack, K-Mart,
Home Depot and a variety of other stores. If you require assistance
obtaining an adapter or converter, please contact the Housing Office at Ext.
2541 or 2551.
The Safety Hotline, Ext. 8800, may be called at any time to report unsafe conditions or to ask a
question.
The Laboratory has established a site siren system to provide warnings of a Lab-wide emergency. The site sirens are
tested every Monday at 12:00pm (noon). The Lab signals and your actions are as follows (building public address announcements will assist you).
** Continuous sounding of site sirens for five minutes - Proceed immediately to
the Building Assembly Area. Await instructions which may include the nature
of the emergency, the type, sequence, and routes for evacuation.

Alcohol consumption (SBMS)
The consumption or unauthorized possession of alcoholic beverages is
prohibited in all areas of the site except for the Brookhaven Center
Club and the housing areas. The only exception to this rule is that
alcohol may be served at after-hours functions, with prior approval by
the Department Chair or Division Manager, the Assistant or Associate
Laboratory Director, and a Deputy Laboratory Director. No Employee,
Guest or Contractor may drink alcohol during the course of their work
day. Consumption of alcohol during BERA-sponsored sporting events is
prohibited; however, participants may request permission to serve
alcohol after games. Employees who consume alcohol at after-hours events
should not return to the work area following the function, nor should
they drive if in an impaired condition.
Requests for exceptions should be documented and submitted for approval
using the Request Form for Permission to Serve Alcohol. Upon approving,
the Deputy Laboratory Director will forward the approved form to the
Recreation Supervisor. The Recreation Supervisor will notify the
requestor of the approval and send copies to the Department Chair /
Division Manager and the Assistant / Associate Laboratory Director.
On the form, the requestor specifies the place, date, time and reason
for the event, the anticipated number of employees who will attend, and
the name of the individual who will assume responsibility as the "host."
The host must be a level 2 manager or above, or their designee. The host
also signs the Request Form and commits to make every effort to ensure
that the quantity of alcohol served is restricted and to prevent
individuals from driving, if impaired, or returning to work.
Celebrations held off-site during lunch or other working hours should be
strongly discouraged for reasons both of safety and loss of
productivity. Employees who consume alcohol during any off-site luncheon
or event shall not return to work the same day. If circumstances make it
necessary to schedule off-site events at which alcohol will be served,
the event host shall send a memorandum to the Deputy Director for
Operations explaining how these concerns have been addressed.
