FYI, my colleague (Stephanie Publicker) has added the following section on "Radiation Safety in Laboratories" to NLM's "Enviro-Health Links - Laboratory Safety" web page: https://sis.nlm.nih.gov/enviro/labsafety.html   

Radiation Safety in Laboratories

For information specific to your situation, check with your institution's radiation safety department

Sincerely,

A starting point could be a look at what NIH NLM's REMM (Radiation Emergency Medical Management) resource offers   For example, one section of REMM is about "Other Audiences" and includes the following content:

=B7       Mental Health Professionals

=B7       Hospital Staff

=B7       Public Information Officers

=B7       Radiation Safety Officers

=B7       Public Health Officers

=B7       Legal Advisors

=B7       Senior Leaders

=B7       Veterinarians

=B7       Medical Examiners / Coroners

Hi, all,

I am getting ready to start a new job where I will need to deal with radioactive materials.  Can anybody direct me to some resources where I can find out about safety rules and regulations for such substances?

 

Thank you for any help you may offer.

Mubetcel
