What is a Notary Public?
A Notary Public is a public servant appointed by state government to witness
the signing of important documents and administer oaths.
How does a Notary identify a signer?
Generally, the Notary will ask to see a current identification document or
card with a photograph, physical description and signature. A driver’s
license, military ID or passport will usually be acceptable.
Does notarization make a document "true" or "legal"?
No. A notarization typically means the signer acknowledged to the Notary
that he or she signed the document or vouched under oath or affirmation that
the contents of the document were true.

Lyme Disease - This disease is carried by deer ticks. An infected tick can transmit the spirochete to the humans and animals it bites. Be alert for symptoms which may include a red rash (especially surrounding the tick bite), flu-like symptoms, or joint pains in the first month following any deer tick bite. If diagnosed and treated early with antibiotics, Lyme disease is almost always readily cured. Insect repellents with DEET in them can reduce the risk of tick bites. DEET is a chemical and should be used according to manufacturer’s directions.
West Nile Virus - This virus is a rare mosquito-borne infection that can cause fever and headaches and in some cases neurological disorders. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn (just before sun rise) and at dusk (just before sunset). Limiting your time outside during those periods will limit your chances of being bitten by a mosquito. Insect repellents with DEET in them can reduce the risk of mosquito bites. DEET is a chemical and should be used according to manufacturer’s directions. For more information call Ext. 8370 or go to: http://www.bnl.gov/esd.

This document is a
statement of BNL's ESSH policy. BNL is a world leader in scientific research
and strives to demonstrate excellence in protecting people, property, and
the environment.
I expect every employee, contractor, and guest to take personal
responsibility for adhering to the following principles:
Upon sounding of the BNL site sirens,
residents of the apartment area shall proceed indoors, close all windows and
doors, and await further instructions from the Fire Dept or the Local
Emergency Coordinator (LEC). The front entrance of the housing units
displays the building manager and emergency contacts.
Please familiarize yourself with the locations of fire extinguishers and how
to use them. In the event of an emergency dial 2222. Alarm
testing is done periodically in the apartments and dormitories.
In the event of an emergency such as medical, fire, hazardous chemical spills, or serious injury, dial 2222 or 911 from a Laboratory telephone or pull the nearest fire alarm box.
Do not alter power cords or electrical outlets. Doing so
can produce dangerous results. If you need to convert a European
plug, this should be done via an approved plug adapter. These adapters are
an interface that attaches between the European plug and the American
socket. Power converters adjust the voltage. Adapters and converters
can be purchased at the BERA Store, the Housing Office, Radio Shack, K-Mart,
Home Depot and a variety of other stores. If you require assistance
obtaining an adapter or converter, please contact the Housing Office at Ext.
2541 or 2551.
The Safety Hotline, Ext. 8800, may be called at any time to report unsafe conditions or to ask a
question.
The Laboratory has established a site siren system to provide warnings of a Lab-wide emergency. The site sirens are
tested every Monday at 12:00pm (noon). The Lab signals and your actions are as follows (building public address announcements will assist you).
** Continuous sounding of site sirens for five minutes - Proceed immediately to
the Building Assembly Area. Await instructions which may include the nature
of the emergency, the type, sequence, and routes for evacuation.
** Intermittent sounding of site sirens for five minutes – Evacuate the site
immediately.
Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday: 8:00am to
12:00pm (Midnight)
Saturday: closed*
Sunday: 4:00pm to

Long Island Expressway (LIE) or Route 495.
This is Long Island’s major highway, and runs east and west from New
York City to Riverhead. At Riverhead, travelers must take county roads
to get to the north or south forks of the Island. The exit numbers
increase going east, and BNL is located north of Exit 68 on William
Floyd Parkway.
William Floyd Parkway or County Road 46.
This road runs north and south across the Island. To go north, turn
right onto William Floyd Parkway as you exit the Lab; turn left to go
south. To get onto the LIE, turn left onto William Floyd Parkway as you
exit the Lab, and follow the signs for Route 495.
Secondary Roadways North of the Lab.
There are four main east-west routes that parallel the LIE. Immediately
north of the Lab is Route 25, also known as the Jericho Turnpike or
Middle Country Road, which runs all the way out on the North Fork to
Orient Point and all the way west to New York City. North of Route 25,
at the end of William Floyd Parkway, is Route 25A, which runs along the
North Shore from Smithtown to Riverhead.
Secondary Roadways South of the Lab. Route 27, also known as Sunrise Highway, runs along the South Shore.
Most of the time its a four-lane divided
highway. South of the Sunrise Highway is Montauk Highway, also known as
Route 27A, which runs to the tip of the South Fork to Montauk Point.
For shuttle information regarding Ronkonkoma Train Station, Shopping and Stony Brook University, please see: On-site Transportation Shuttles
The Long Island Railroad (LIRR) serves all of LI with service to New York City's Penn Station. Connections are available from there to Amtrak and regional lines. The closest LIRR Station to BNL is in Mastic/Shirley; however, trains arrive and depart more frequently at the Patchogue and Ronkonkoma stations.
