What does a Radiation Safety Officer do?
The RSO is the individual a facility designates to run its radiation safety program and keep it compliant with NRC and state regulations — managing licenses, training, occupational monitoring, incident investigation, and all related documentation.
Services
Named RSO services
Board-certified physicists listed as your facility's RSO on radioactive-materials licenses — qualified for both clinic-level (RML1) and hospital-level (RML2) programs.
RAM license management
Applications, amendments, renewals, and all regulatory correspondence — prepared, submitted, and tracked.
Radiation safety program development
Written procedures, training curricula, dose-monitoring protocols, and emergency response plans tailored to your license.
Training
Radiation safety training for staff working with radioactive materials — general, procedure-specific, and emergency response.
Occupational dose monitoring
Badge programs, quarterly reviews, ALARA investigations, and regulatory dose reporting.
Incident investigation and reporting
Root-cause investigation, incident reports, and regulatory follow-through.
Quarterly audits and committee reporting
Scheduled program audits and quarterly reports for your radiation safety committee.
Service tiers
RPPS-RSO1 (clinic level)
For clinic-level RAM licenses with limited radioactive material use.
RPPS-RSO2 (hospital level)
For hospital-level licenses — PET/CT, nuclear medicine, and therapeutic programs.
Regulatory framework
NRC 10 CFR Part 35, Agreement State rules (FL, MD, VA, CA, NV), Joint Commission standards, OSHA occupational exposure requirements, and DOT HAZMAT shipping rules.
FAQ
What qualifications does an RSO need?
NRC/Agreement State–recognized training and experience; for most medical programs, board certification in medical physics or health physics.
Can you serve as our named RSO?
Yes — our ABR-certified physicists meet all qualification requirements.
RML1 vs RML2 — what's the difference?
RML1 covers smaller clinic programs with limited radioactive material use. RML2 covers hospital-scale programs with broader possession and use. RSO responsibilities scale with the license.
How often will the RSO visit on-site?
Typically quarterly for audits and reviews, with additional visits for training, incidents, or license activity.
What documentation does the RSO maintain?
License materials, training records, dose monitoring, incident reports, audits, and all regulatory correspondence.
