Slide 1
Environmental Health and Safety Radiation Control and
Radiological Services
Slide 2
Course focuses on Basic Radiation Safety Required for all
individuals working with radioactive materials Environmental Health
and Safety mission: Provide a safe and healthy environment for all
Minimize injury to faculty, staff, students, and visitors Prevent
damage to university property Overview
Slide 3
EH&S is divided into six departments: 1) Facility and Fire
Safety Pest Control and Fire Equipment Service Units 2) Radiation
Control and Radiological Services University-wide radiation
protection 3) Occupational and Research Safety Monitors biological
and chemical research activities, clinic safety, and accident
prevention programs EH&S as a whole
Slide 4
EH&S 4) Diving Science and Safety Supports scientific
diving for the University of Florida 5) Hazardous Materials
Management Coordinates the disposal of radioactive/chemical waste
at on- and off-campus locations 6) Industrial Hygiene Responsible
for asbestos removal, indoor air quality and other industrial
hygiene problems

Slide 12
Responsibilities Include: Enforce safety rules and regulations
as set forth by this manual Train employees on the safe handling of
radioactive materials Inform Radiation Control of personnel changes
Maintain inventory records and perform weekly contamination surveys
Ensure safe and secure storage of radioactive materials and sources
in the laboratory Principal Investigator (PI)
Slide 13
Procurement and Receipt of Radioactive Materials: May obtain
radioactive materials after their proposal has been approved by
submitting an order to Rad. Control All radioactive materials must
be received, processed, and inspected by the Radiation Control
Department prior to delivery to the lab The key to a good radiation
safety program is demonstrating your control! Principal
