19
Q

What is OSHA responsible for?

A

Regulations concerning an employee’s “right to know” with regard to hazards that may be present in the work place

20
Q

RSO

A

Radiation Safety Officer

21
Q

The role of the RSO

A

Selected to oversee the programs daily operation and provide for its formal review each year

22
Q

What is the RSO responsible for developing?

A

AN appropriate radiation safety program for the facility to ensure all persons are adequately protected from radiation

23
Q

The RSO is responsible for maintaining

A

Radiation monitoring for all personnel and for providing counseling for individuals who receive monitor readings in excess of allowable limits

24
Q

CDRH

A

Center for Devices and Radiological Health

25
Q

CDRH is responsible for?

A

Conducting an on-going electronic product radiation control program

26
Q

Know the 4 international Organizations responsible for evaluating the relationship between EQD and induced biologic effects

A
  1. ICRP - International Commission on Radiological Protection
  2. NCRP - National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
  3. UNSCEAR - United Nations Scientific Committee on the effects of Atomic Radiation
  4. National Academy of Sciences/ National Research Council Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (NAS/NRC-BEIR)
27
Q

Know who and why certain groups may look to the NCRP for guidance?

A

Nongovernmental groups desiring to improve their radiation safety practices and their promotion and disbursement of pertinent radiation protection materials

28
Q

Know the US Radiation Regulatory Agencies

A
  1. NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission)
  2. Agreement States
  3. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
  4. US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  5. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
29
Q

What the FDA conducts under Public Law 90-602, the radiation control for Health and Safety Act of 1968?

A

An on-going product radiation control program, regulating the design and manufacture of electronic products, including diagnostic xray equipment

30
Q

Know what compliance with the FDA standards ensures

A

The protection of occupationally and nonoccupationally exposed person from faulty manufacturing

31
Q

What must facilities that provide imaging service have?

A

An effective and detailed radiation safety program to ensure adequate safety of patients and radiation workers

32
Q

Be able to describe in detail the implementation requirements of a radiation safety program (Implementation, what it must provide, what it delegates)

A

The implementation of an effective program begins with the administration of the facility. Individuals in executive positions must provide the resources necessary for creating and maintaining such a program. They can delegate operational funds in the budget, oversee the development of policies and procedures, and provide the equipment necessary for starting and for continuing the program.

33
Q

Why the NRC mandates that a RSC be established?

A

So that the facility can assist in the development of the radiation safety program

34
Q

Who generally takes on the role of an RSO?

A

A medical physicist, health physicist, radiologist, or other qualified person through adequate training and experience usually takes on the role of the RSO
