Every experimental area has a "Hazard Identification List." This list is to be read by all experimenters who work in that area. Hazards at experimental areas may include:

Trips and falls

Welding, torch cutting, and brazing

Exposed high-current and/or high-voltage electrical connections

High magnetic fields

Oxygen Deficiency Hazard (ODH) (usually resulting from potential release of cryogens)

Flammable or explosive gases and liquids

Chemical hazards (typically solvents, heavy metals)

Pressure and vacuum vessels

Radiation hazards from the beam, or from radioactive sources (often attached to the experiment apparatus)
