Frequently asked questions

Who should perform radiation safety program audits at my facility?

Your designated Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) should lead the audit, but consider including team members from different departments for fresh perspectives. For larger facilities, rotating audit team members helps spread radiation safety knowledge throughout your organization while ensuring thorough evaluations.

How often should I conduct radiation safety program audits?

Most regulatory bodies require annual comprehensive audits of your radiation safety program. However, implementing quarterly mini-audits focusing on different program aspects helps maintain continuous compliance. This approach allows you to address issues promptly rather than discovering multiple problems during annual reviews.

What’s a common mistake companies make in radiation audits?

One common oversight is treating audits as isolated events rather than part of a larger safety system. Companies often forget to link audit findings to follow-up actions or fail to track recurring issues over time. Create an action log with deadlines and owners to close the loop and avoid the same problems showing up every year.
