Initial Radiation Safety Training
Each Associate Investigator must attend a "New User Orientation" prior to working with any radioactive material. The candidate must submit an "Application to Use Radioactive Material" (RMA-2) to EH&S to initiate the Associate Investigator process. The Principal Investigator shall sign the application certifying that the candidate has received safety training specific to the Principal Investigator’s lab.
Before attending the orientation the applicant must complete a short answer quiz which covers information in the Radioactive Materials Safety Manual and basic safety calculations. Upon completion of the orientation and passing a post orientation exam, the user will be granted approval to work under the direct supervision of the Principal Investigator. Previous training or experience at another facility will not exempt the candidate from the training requirement.
Annual re-training in radiation safety is required for all individuals who work with radioactive materials. This mandatory training is provided by EH&S.
