Safety

We continued bringing the telescope safety in compliance with Spanish law. An specific Emergency Plan for the telescope was written. Tested of the whole telescope and service building electrical installation were organized which has been partly completed. One item still pending is the check of those machines in the work shop which, because of age, do not have the European CE safety mark.

Effort have been made to organize a basic First aid course in English for the students and staff that are not sufficiently fluent in Spanish, through the local `Cruz Roja'. They recently indicated that they can offer a 15 hour course. The `Cruz Roja's contact person noted that more detailed info would be sent by email. When we receive adequate info a course will be organized in the near future.
