Learn how to access required and recommended radiation safety training.
Principal investigators must make sure individuals listed on their Radioisotope Use Authorization (RUA) complete appropriate training prior to any unsupervised work with radioactive material.
Print and complete a New Laboratory Worker Checklist (PDF) for every lab worker. File the form with other department safety training records.
With the exception of laser safety training, programs below are for research users only, not medical (routine treatment and diagnosis) users. For Nuclear Medicine, contact the EH&S Healthcare Safety Office, (619) 543-7575, to schedule safety training specific to health care providers.
