Safety, Radiation & Laser protection
The safety of all students and staff at the PCI is our top priority. If you have any questions or concerns regarding lab safety or occupational health please contact the group leaders or safety officers.
All employees at the PCI are required to take part in the annual safety briefing. All new employees and students must be instructed promptly in their research groups before starting any lab work.
First aid courses are offered annually. If you are interested in becoming a first aider, please contact the safety officer Christel Heisig.
