For your safety
Jefferson Lab is dedicated to safety in all our activities. Observance of a few rules and safety precautions will make the 2010 Open House more enjoyable for everyone:
Jefferson Lab hosts will be present to respond to any needs or questions.
In case of serious illness, injury or vehicle accident, our medical staff and Newport News emergency medical crews will be on site.
Proper footwear and clothing is essential. Jefferson Lab is spread over a 206-acre campus, and those taking tours will be required to use stairs and walk some distances. Low-heeled, closed-toe shoes are recommended. Individuals taking a tour of the accelerator must be able to walk down and back up five flights of stairs.
Free shuttle service will be provided on campus, as well as to and from Canon Virginia.
Alcohol, firearms, and weapons are not allowed on site.
