Radiation is used in laboratories for various reasons, including medical research, materials analysis, and scientific experimentation.
The Radiation Safety Office enforces strict safety measures to ensure the responsible and secure use of radiation within the lab environment. Radiation safety training is a must for all personnel who work with research irradiators, ionizing radiation, and other radioactive materials.
Other services the RSO offers: Guidelines for lab safety, including procedures for radiation spill cleanup, waste disposal, and receipt of packages and weekly contamination surveys. Specific radiation safety forms are also provided by our office. If you have any questions about radiation in research, please contact us for more information.
