Radiation Safety (Ionizing)
The Flinders University of South Australia is committed not
simply to meeting, but as far as possible to exceeding, protection
standards for ionizing radiation set by legislation. Where
appropriate, relevant Australian Standards will be used as
guides.
In work with ionizing radiation the ALARA (As Low as Reasonably
Achievable, economic and other factors being taken into account)
principle is to be used to ensure that exposures to workers
and public are minimised.
Those supervising work with ionizing radiation should consider
the possible risks to themselves and others and balance these
against the expected benefits.
These committed goals are to be met by a combination of training,
physical and engineering control measures, supervision and
recording under the supervision of the OH&S Unit, the
University Radiation Safety Officer, and Area Radiation Safety
officers. |
