Gaining permission to access the X-ray facility

Once you have a valid PPMS account you can proceed to log on to PPMS which will take you to your home page:

From here you can request access to the X-ray laboratory by selecting the “request a training” link which will take you to the Training Requests page shown:

All users of the X-ray lab must be registered and have undergone safety training before being allowed to work in the X-ray laboratory. In order to request registration please select the X-Ray Facility user application form shown:

You will need permission to charge any usage fees to a valid grant/account number on PPMS to complete the training request. If you do not already have a grant/account registered on PPMS, click on the "Request to be authorized for another financial account" link to request permission to charge to your grant/account. Once permission has been granted, you can select the correct grant/account number from the drop down list at the top of the page.

As part of the application, you are expected to read and agree to abide by the laboratory local rules. A printable copy of these rules can be found by clicking on the following link: local_rules_nov_2021.pdf

Once you have completed this form, submit the request by clicking the button at the bottom of the form. The facility staff will be alerted to the application and will process it as detailed on the previous page.

Please DO NOT submit multiple copies of the Facility User Application form.
