Radioisotope Laboratory Techniques Day 1 Environmental Health & Safety Radiation Control & Radiological Services UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA RADIATION SAFETY SHORT COURSE

Our Goals To provide you with the information to work smarter and safer! To fulfill the requirements of the University of Florida’s Radioactive Materials license.

Caution Signs

Survey Instruments a.Battery Check b.Calibrated within the last 9 months? c.Proper meter for isotopes in use?

Protective Clothing a.Lab coat b.Gloves c.Eye protection

General Lab Safety a.Absorbent paper used in designated work areas (plastic side down) b.No food or drinks in work area c.Proper shielding for isotopes d.Survey of hands and feet after every use

Waste Areas - Ensure appropriate catchtrays under liquids - No funnels left in liquid waste containers.

When to document a survey? A survey must be documented within seven days of isotope use (Best to schedule one day a week) OR If the lab has isotope storage only (no use) or waste still on hand…a documented survey once a month

University limits for removable contamination: Beta/Gamma 100 dpm / 100 cm² Alpha 50 dpm / 100 cm²

Lab Survey & Documentation

Top Priority….. SECURITY! Challenge everyone that you do not know!
