Workplace environment – JPL strives to ensure that each student has a safe and healthful environment that is free from hazards that could result in property damage, injury, or loss of life. The fire station offers first-aid services after hours and on weekends. Serious medical conditions are referred to local doctors, clinics, or hospitals. Appointments can be made in advance by calling (818) 354-3319. It is closed on RDO Fridays, JPL holidays, and weekends. Medical services – Medical Services (located in building 310, next to the fire station) is available for minor first-aid and emergency care from 7:30 a.m. Ask you supervisor and/or mentor about emergency exits and evacuation sites for your office. Wait for emergency notification (all clear). Injuries or illness that are, or might be, work-related should also be reported to JPL Occupational Health Services as soon as possible at (818) 354-3319.Įarthquakes – In case of an earthquake, stay in your work area and duck, cover, and hold. See below for additional safety procedures and resources:Īccidents and injuries on lab – Report any job-related accidents, injuries, diseases, or illness to your mentor and program coordinator. And do not feed or approach any of the animals on lab. Do not reach into any area that you cannot see.

Be aware that JPL is on the border of a National Forest and we share the land with the following residents: deer, mountain lion, rattle snakes, black widows, and tarantulas.

Use crosswalks – do not expect a moving vehicle to stop.

Be mindful of walking distractions such as reading, texting or engaging in conversation.

Follow these general safety guidelines while at the lab: JPL's Safety Office works to identify and manage health and safety risks at the lab. In case of emergency, call 911 (from a JPL phone) or (818) 393-3333 (from a cell phone). Consult with your mentor, section supervisor, section safety coordinator, or your program coordinator if you have questions. Students should not perform any of these special tasks without obtaining proper training. Examples are chemical, radiation, and/or pyrotechnic operations. In addition, certain research assignments may require that students and faculty are certified to perform tasks that could be potentially hazardous to themselves or co-workers. If by the end of your first week, you still cannot access the site, please contact your program coordinator. This is usually not indicative of a problem, it is just because JPL systems need time to update. Do not be alarmed if you cannot access the training site or your email immediately. There is a 24-to-48 hour time delay from when you complete your IT provisioning appointment on your second day to when you gain access to all internal sites.

Note: To access these training modules, you must be logged into the JPL internal network.

Safety – Injury & Illness Prevention Program.JPL requires that all students and faculty complete the following online training modules within two weeks of arriving at JPL.
