Terminating Employment

If a principal investigator terminates employment at Michigan State University, the ORCBS shall be notified at least two weeks beforehand. Arrangements must be made to remove or reassign any radioactive materials according to the requirements of the ORCBS. Before the termination date, the radiation safety staff will conduct a final radiation survey of the radioisotope laboratory in order to determine the presence of unused radioisotopes and/or the presence of contamination.

Radiation workers who terminate their education and/or employment at the university shall notify the ORCBS, and their badges must be returned. Federal law, implemented on January 1, 1994, mandates that new workers who will use radioactive materials must supply the current year's exposure report to the safety office prior to beginning work with radioactive materials. Michigan State University maintains badge records for all radiation workers. To meet this requirement at future locations, this information will be supplied to a worker leaving Michigan State University after the radiation detection badge has been returned to the ORCBS.
