Safety

Visitors to the site are reminded that it is remote, very high altitude with extreme weather conditions, and that it can experience sudden changes in weather. ESO and NRAO agreed in safety rules that anyone visiting Chajnantor must follow. These can be found at http://www.alma.nrao.edu/info/almasafety.html. The ASAC urges institutions to bring these rules to the attention of prospective visitors of the site. Site visits should be coordinated with Simon Radford (sradford@nrao.edu) in Tucson and Eduardo Hardy (ehardy@nrao.edu) in Santiago and with Angel Otarola (aotarola@eso.org) in Antofagasta.
