Medical Disclaimers for James Clerk
Maxwell Telescope and for UKIRT
PPARC have initiated a procedure whereby visitors to the JAC facilities on Hawaii will no
longer be required to provide a medical certificate, but will be warned of the potential
dangers of working at altitude and be required to sign a disclaimer. Disclaimers will be
issued to groups by the PATT Secretariat following PATT allocations. Signed disclaimers
need to be returned to the PATT Secretariat for every person visiting the telescopes, not
just applicants.
Only one disclaimer per person will be required and it will remain valid for all approved
programmes. It is intended to renew disclaimers every four years.
Failure to provide a signed disclaimer will mean that individuals will be denied access to
the telescope(s).
