Beamline induction
After a successful application for an experiment, you will be required to undertake separate facility and beamline safety inductions before beginning your work. Following successful completion of the facility safety induction (carried out online through the portal website before EA submission), users are expected to participate in the beamline-specific safety induction prior to beginning work on the beamline.
Even if you have attended an experiment at a different Australian Synchrotron beamline those new to the PD beamline must undergo an induction. Beamline inductions remain valid for 12 months.
‼ All experiment participants are requested to make themselves available for this induction at the beginning of the experiment as a single group, regardless of when they plan to work onsite, i.e. night shift users must be available at the start also. ‼ |

This is to ensure that beamline staff is available onsite to perform the induction and to ensure that all those involved in an experiment are trained to work safely. Beamline staff cannot do inductions after hours or on weekends.

Please discuss with your Beamline Scientist if you need to arrive early or think you need access to other laboratories onsite.
Visitors
Users are not authorised to accompany visitors on site at the synchrotron. Personnel who are not on the Experimental Authorisation form will not be allowed into the main synchrotron building.
User support
User support on the PD beamline is outlined below. Although it may occasionally be possible for us to provide additional support, this should not be expected. If additional support is required it must be discussed with beamline staff well in advance of the experiment, such as when preparing your EA form for submission.
