14.00 Specific Procedures for Radiation Installations

For each Radiation Installation in a Department or Center, there must be a set of Radiation Safety Procedures which apply specifically to the facilities and to the operations carried out in the Installation. Thus, for a Department or Center having three Radiation Installations, for example, three separate sets of Specific Radiation procedures would be required.  The set of Specific Procedures must be prepared by the Supervisor of the Radiation Installation, who would  consult the RSO if there are questions concerning procedures.  Procedures contained in Section 12.00, General Procedures for Radiation Safety, may be incorporated in the Specific Procedures.

The set of Specific Procedures must be approved by the RSO.  After approval, copies must be distributed as follows:

1. One copy to the RSO;
2. One copy to the Chairman of the Department (or the Director of the Center);
3. One copy to the Safety Committee of the Department (or the Director of the Center);
4. One copy to be posted in the Installation;
5. One copy to each person authorized to work in or have access to the Installation.

The Specific Procedures must be revised whenever the facilities or operations in the Installation change or whenever there is a change in supervisory personnel.  In any case, the procedures must be reviewed for possible revision at least once each calendar year.

In addition to the Specific Procedures, a copy of this document, "Radiation Safety: Regulations and Procedures, Part I, Ionizing Radiation," must be readily available at all times to all persons having access to the Installation.
