Radiation Safety Committee
Charge and Membership
The purpose of the Radiation Safety Committee is to establish and to administer regulations concerning standards and procedures designed to minimize the hazards associated with the use of materials and equipment that emit radiation. Persons with expertise in applications of radioactive materials and radiation devices are preferred for membership due to the technical nature of the Committee's work.
The Radiation Safety Committee is required to meet at least once per quarter.
This Committee reports through the Director of Environmental Health and Safety to the Vice President for Administration.
