Minors
Working With Radioactive Materials
Radiation exposure
limits exist for minors, (individuals under 18 years of age) who work
with radioactive materials. These limits are 10% of all of the occupational
limits for adult radiation workers. For these workers, safety training
must be completed prior to work with radioactive materials as with
other occupational workers. It is university policy that an informed
parental consent form must be completed and kept on file for purposes
of liability and risk management.
Due to university
policy and legal requirements, principal investigators must notify
the ORCBS before allowing minors to handle radioactive materials.
