Radiation Safety Programs

Radiation Safety Programs are organized efforts to protect people and the environment from the potential hazards of ionizing radiation used in medicine, industry, research, and energy. They include policies, procedures, training, and monitoring to ensure radiation is used responsibly, minimizing exposure. The goal is to keep radiation doses as low as reasonably achievable while maintaining safety and effectiveness. These programs involve regular safety checks, proper equipment handling, and staff education to prevent accidental exposure, ensuring that radiation use benefits society without undue risk.
