The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Radiation Safety Programs rely
on training, good laboratory practices, engineering controls and
compliance State and Federal regulation to prevent contamination
of the area or the Worker. However, the danger of spills of radioactive
materials exists and the University has procedures for such emergencies.
The emergency procedures are included in the John Hopkins medical
Institutions (JHMI) Radiation Safety Manual and the JHU (Homewood)
Radiation Safety Manual.
NOTE:
Graduate students using radioactive materials must be trained in
their usage. Contact the Radiation Safety Office to schedule a training
session. Researchers using radioactive materials are directed to
contain and clean up spills that involve any radiation hazard to
personnel. The laboratory or work area should be vacated and the
RSO notified.
