The Radiation Safety Committee is established through the University Policies for Ionising Radiation (HR29) and Non-Ionising Radiation (HR-30) and is committed to the effective management of ionising and non-ionising radiation to protect the health of staff, students and visitors to the University and to minimise adverse environmental consequences.
The University Radiation Safety Committee consists of the University Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), as chair, and representatives from Academic and Research Units where ionising radiation or radioactive material is used.
All projects involving the use of ionising radiation by staff or students, and the intentional use of high power non-ionising radiation by staff or students where there is a potential for the safety level standards to be exceeded, must be reviewed by the Radiation Safety Committee and approved by the RSO.
