  1. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDARadiation Safety Short Course Radioisotope Laboratory Techniques Day 1 Environmental Health & Safety Radiation Control & Radiological Services

  2. 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.

  3. Caution Signs

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

  5. Protective Clothing Lab coat Gloves Eye protection

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

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

  8. 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

  9. University limits for removable contamination: Beta/Gamma100 dpm / 100 cm² Alpha 50 dpm / 100 cm²

  10. Lab Survey & Documentation

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