Safety and Training at the Cyclotron The Safety and Training Checklist (available on our Downloads page) will help us determine which training courses you need to complete. You may submit this form to us via fax or email (MS Word only) at least two weeks prior to your arrival. Also, you will need to take the General Employee Radiation Training (GERT) course, which can be found here: http://ehswprod.lbl.gov/EHSTraining/GERT/home.html

Dosimeters Dosimeters are required to participate in experiments and enter any controlled areas at the Cyclotron. You may obtain a dosimeter at the Administrative Services Office after (not before) completion of your training. Please do not wear your dosimeter out of the facility. It is extremely important that you contact Administrative Services if you lose, damage, or fail to return your dosimeter.

Key Card and Badge After completion of the registration process and safety training, new users and guests will be directed to the LBNL Site Access Office (Building 65) to obtain a key card/identification badge that provides access to the Cyclotron. Please be prepared to present a picture ID to Site Access staff. You will need to see Patti Kobayashi in the Administrative Services Office to activate the card upon return to the Cyclotron.

Parking Parking permits are required at LBNL. Signs in each parking lot designate the type of permit required for that area. Cars parked in "No Parking" areas or reserved spaces without appropriate permits may be cited or towed. Users and guests, except for students, are granted a one-day parking permit at the Blackberry Gate Entrance on the first day of arrival at the Laboratory. You may obtain a parking permit for extended visits at the Site Access Office (Building 65). One permit per automobile is allowed.

Finding a parking space at LBNL can be very difficult. Users are strongly encouraged to use the LBNL Shuttle Service whenever possible when traveling between other Laboratory buildings, the U.C. Campus, City of Berkeley community, and Berkeley BART Stations (see Buses: Lab Shuttle Bus Information). This service is provided free of charge. There are a limited number of parking spaces available for users and guests in the Cyclotron parking lot. If needed, you may reserve a parking space by contacting Patti Kobayashi in advance of your arrival.

Remember... Before leaving your home institution, users should carefully review registration procedures to ensure that all necessary documents have been forwarded to the Administrative Services Office, and that any additional documents that may be required are in their possession.

Remember that all forms should be submitted via fax, email (MS Word only), or mailed to the Administrative Services Office at least two weeks before your arrival at the Cyclotron. Please use the following address if you are mailing in your registration forms:
