All users of radiation (Faculty and Students) must take the radiation training course to use or order radiation. An annual refresher course is also required.
5. Set up the radiation area in your lab (refer to the SWAG视频 Radiation Guidelines )
Radiation areas should be isolated as much as possible and appropriate shielding put in place. Once you are set up contact EHS for an initial inspection.

Contact EHS if using other isotopes
7. You must also have a dosimeter rings or badge before working with radiation
