IF YOU PLAN TO WORK WITH OR OBTAIN RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS,

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MAY NOT HANDLE OR OBTAIN ANY RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS (excluding legally exempt materials) until you have first completed the Campus Radiation Safety Program Training and passed the Radiation Safety Test. Radiation Safety Program Training is usually offered the first Friday of every month, from 12:00 to 1:30 IN MLSC-229. Contact the Campus Radiation Safety Officers (RSO) to sign up for this training; click here or call (562) 985-5623.

EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR TRAINING, YOU MAY NOT OBTAIN ANY RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS (OR EQUIPMENT THAT PRODUCES IONIZING RADIATION) WITHOUT FIRST CONTACTING THE CAMPUS RSOs.

Unless you are the Primary Investigator, you will have to take and pass the Radiation Safety Test yearly in order to retain permission to work with radioactive materials.
