Radiation Safety Committee (RSC)
The Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) is charged with the oversight of all use of radioactive material permitted under the University of Virginia's radioactive materials license. The committee works with executive management and the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) to implement the radiation safety program and to help in establishing policies and procedures for managing this program. The RSC serves as an effective collegial group responsible for ensuring that a quality radiation safety program is developed, implemented, and supported. The mission is to maintain radiation exposure to users, staff, patients and the general public as low as reasonably achievable and to ensure that operations are in compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. This responsibility is accomplished through delegation of authority to various persons and subcommittees with specific expertise in areas under their purview. This approval is managed through CRConnect.
