2022 Q2 RSC Agenda 5/24/22
The University of Washington's Radiation Safety Committee recently approved a few changes to University requirements that affect research-related RUA permit holders, including the following:
A hazardous material spill is an uncontrolled release of a substance that is potentially hazardous to humans, animals and/or the environment. University personnel and students working with hazardous materials should be prepared to respond in case a spill occurs.
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S), Radiation Safety issues dosimeters to monitor radiation exposure to individuals working with radioactive materials and radiation producing machines in accordance with federal and state requirements.
EH&S is a University administrative department that assists organizational units in meeting their responsibility to protect the environment and to provide a safe and healthful place for employment and learning.
The University of Washington Radiation Safety Committee Charter has been reviewed and is endorsed by the Chief of Staff & Chief Administrative Officer of the Executive Office of the President & Provost and the Chair of the Radiation Safety Committee.
