In case of any emergencies on PSI premises, dial 3333 immediately from any PSI phone (or +41 56 310 3333 from external telephones) to reach the PSI emergency response team.
Also please make sure you know how to behave correctly in case of emergencies and alarms at PSI.
The safety of users and staff has the highest priority for the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in designing and conducting research and experiments. Therefore, we diligently adhere to the safety first principle:
"No work we do is so important that it needs to be done without assuring the proper safety measures."
PSI strictly requires that users and staff comply with all the institute's safety rules and regulations while working on the premises. It is your responsibility to follow the PSI general safety instructions to protect yourself and others.
All TOMCAT staff and PSI safety personnel have the authority and duty to enforce safe working conditions. As such, they are authorized and required to STOP your experiments immediately if conditions are deemed unsafe. Experiments may potentially be resumed if the safety of the setup can be improved and proven to be adequate. Note, however, that willful non-compliance with any safety instructions or orders from PSI staff will result in the immediate termination of an experiments.
General PSI safety guidelines and information are available on the Safety webpage of the User Office. Please read this information carefully and share it with everyone on your team.
