Cameras are of course highly welcome 3.4 Minors and pregnant women Although there are radioactive preparations, S’Cool LAB is not a supervised area. Therefore there is no general restriction for pregnant women and minors. Nevertheless pregnant tutors are not allowed to supervise experiments which include radioactive preparations or X-Rays, pregnant participants shall not handle radioactive preparations.

6. 3.5 Bags To avoid accidents, all bags and jackets shall be stored inside the indicated shelf or at the wardrobe in the corridor (Figure 3).

7. 3.6 Microphones To make sure everybody can understand the instructions, tutors need to keep in mind that the room is really big and it is therefore recommended to use a microphone. 3.7 Tidiness To facilitate cleaning, chairs must be put on tables after the workshop. Tutors shall remind the participants to clean their shoes if they enter from the outside and leave the room tidy. 3.8 Reports All problems or accidents shall be reported to (e.g. empty alcohol containers, disturbances, IT problems …).

8. 4. How to become an official S’Cool LAB tutor
Workshops can only be led by official S'Cool LAB tutors. To become an official S'Cool LAB tutors the following steps are mandatory: a) To have taken the following CERN safety courses: - Electrical Hazards COURELE - RP supervised area COURRP - Sensibilisation Risque Chimique COURSRCHIM - Highly recommended: fire extinguisher course - Highly recommended: first aid course
See Safety Information Registration on
See CERN training catalogue on

9. 4. How to become an official S’Cool LAB tutor
b) To have a personal dosimeter and to wear it during the workshops, which include radioactive preparations or X-Ray units. c) To have followed the on-site training for general safety in S’Cool LAB. d) To have followed the on-site training for the specific experimental setting e.g. Cloud Chamber, Electron tubes, X-Rays e) To have been granted access to S'Cool LAB equipment in EDH (Request access to 0143K1-001 (S'Cool LAB experiments)) f) To have observed ("shadowed") one workshop led by an experienced S'Cool LAB tutor. Training sessions will be announced via the INDICO category for S’Cool LAB: Since the number of participants for all trainings is limited, registration is necessary.

10. 5. Emergency situations All tutors must know the following:
Where are the emergency exits?
Where is the assembly point?
Where is the first aid box?
Where are the emergency stops to cut the power?
Where is the IP phone and which number do I call in case of an emergency?

Every experiment is connected to specific hazards due to e.g.: - Dangerous voltages - Chemicals - Cryogenics - Lasers - Radioactive preparations - X-Rays - Evacuated glass tubes - … Tutors must be aware of all risks and need to know, what to do in case of an emergency. Before starting the experiments, tutors need to instruct the participants on possible hazards. During the workshop, they supervise the participants and make sure that they follow the instructions.
