RSO (Radiation Safety Officer)

A Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) is responsible for overseeing the safe use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing equipment in a facility. They ensure compliance with safety regulations, minimize radiation exposure to workers and the public, and manage safety protocols. The RSO conducts training, monitors radiation levels, maintains safety records, and responds to radiation-related incidents. Their role is essential in balancing the benefits of radiation use, such as medical imaging or research, with the imperative to protect health and safety.
