Safety Updates for CFN Users and Staff
All Work at CFN is Planned.
Regarding the use of all compressed gas cylinders, remember to secure the cylinders properly both while in use and when in storage.
The repair or modification of any electrical equipment that uses more than 50 volts must be approved by the appropriate BNL personnel and must be inspected prior to its continued use.
Be safe! Remember to plan all your work, including time to clean up.
