1. Description of S’Cool LAB S'Cool LAB is a hands-on teaching facility in 143-R-003 at CERN with a fully equipped modular laboratory of 200m 2 (Figure 1). Figure 1 - Map of S’Cool LAB in building 143

2.Applications and bookings All Workshops in S'Cool LAB will be managed only by the S'Cool LAB team School groups can only apply via the S'Cool LAB website For detailed Information about the booking or application process, please have a look at the “S'Cool LAB Guidelines” on When a workshop request is accepted, it will be registered in the Visits Agenda

3.General rules for workshops in S’Cool LAB 3.1Capacity Groups of 36 participants maximum are accepted, accompanied by at least one official S'Cool LAB tutor. The recommended number of participants is Safety instructions All (safety) instructions shall be presented clearly by the tutors and followed strictly by all participants and all tutors.

3.4General laboratory rules S'Cool LAB is a laboratory, therefore it is strictly forbidden to eat, drink or smoke inside the lab. The corridor in front of the lab shall be used for breaks. Cameras are of course highly welcome!

3.5Restriction for minors and pregnant women due to ionising radiation S’Cool LAB is not a supervised radiation area. Therefore there is no general restriction for pregnant women and minors. Specific rules apply for certain experiments and participants groups:  Pregnant tutors are not allowed to supervise experiments which include radioactive preparations or X-Rays.  Pregnant participants are not allowed to participate in experiments that work with radioactive preparations.  All participants in general are not allowed to handle radioactive sources directly, this will be done by the tutor. To prove, that are no dangerous dose rates from ionising radiation, active dosimeter will be used to monitor the exposure. For details about radiation protection measures in S’Cool LAB, please refer to EDMS

3.6Bags To avoid accidents, all bags and jackets shall be stored inside the indicated shelf or at the wardrobe in the corridor.

3.6Microphones 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. 3.7Tidiness 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.

3.9Reports of incidents and accidents 3.9.1Incidents All incidents shall be reported to (e.g. empty alcohol containers, disturbances, IT problems …). For immediate assistance, call -Vincent Darras (S’Cool LAB technician), mobile Julia Woithe (S’Cool LAB equipment expert), mobile Service Desk, Accidents Any accident shall be reported using the Internal Accident Report in accordance with the CERN Safety Code A2 (EDMS ):

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: Mandatory online courses on -CERN Safety Introduction -Electrical Hazards COURELE -RP supervised area COURRP -Sensibilisation Risque Chimique COURSRCHIM

4.How to become an official S’Cool LAB tutor Highly recommended classroom courses listed in CERN training catalogue on -fire extinguisher course -first aid course

4.How to become an official S’Cool LAB tutor b)To have a personal dosimeter and to wear it when supervising experiments 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)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.

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 including eye wash bottles? Where is the emergency stop to cut the electrical power? Where is the fire extinguisher? Where is the IP phone and which number do I call in case of an emergency? Where are the rest rooms (hand wash possibility)? Which are possible hazards of the experiment the participants perform?

5.3.Possible hazards of the experiments 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.
