Risk assessments and controls The manager/supervisor shall ensure that risk assessments and controls are developed and maintained for all ionising radiation activities. The risk assessments and controls shall consider: limiting total whole body exposure to 1 mSv annually; applying the three principles of radiological protection, including ALARA; meeting the requirements of the ; and meeting the requirements of the (for radiation apparatus). The DRSO shall provide assistance and advice on developing risk assessments and controls when requested by the manager/supervisor. The University RSA shall provide assistance and advice on developing risk assessments and controls when requested by the DRSO. to Section 8 of the Ionising radiation management plan for additional information with regards to risk assessment and control. Standard operating procedures The manager/supervisor shall ensure that standard operating procedures are developed and maintained for all ionising radiation activities. Standard operating procedures shall consider: applying controls that consider the routes of exposure external or internal; – ; including the requirements of the and including the requirements of the (for radiation apparatus). The DRSO shall provide assistance and advice on standard operating procedures when requested by the manager/supervisor. The University RSA provide assistance and advice on developing standard operating procedures when requested by the DRSO. to Section 9 of the Ionising radiation management plan for additional information with regards to standard operating procedures. Shielding The Project Manager shall ensure that shielding requirements are included during the design of areas allocated as a radiation practice. Consideration shall be given to the type or radiation practice and the use of radiation sources within the radiation practice. Radiation shielding shall include: walls, floor and ceiling of the room in which a radiation source is used; and that no person receives a radiation dose greater than the University dose limits. The Head of School/Division shall ensure: radiation shielding is maintained in the doors, walls, floor and ceiling of the room in which a radiation source is used; and
