Radiation Safety Committee

The Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) is responsible for the safe use of radiation producing devices and radioactive materials at all UW locations, including the UW Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center.

The RSC is comprised of members from departments across the University that regularly use radiation producing devices or radioactive materials.

In addition, several members are specifically designated, including:

  • RSC Chair
  • Radiation Safety Officer
  • Office of the UW President  (can be delegated)
  • Nursing representative
  • An authorized user of each type of medical use of radioactive material permitted by the University’s radioactive materials license

RSC members are a diverse group representing management, administration, departments using radioactive materials and various disciplines of clinical patient care.  This diverse membership offers a matrix of experience and education to assure knowledge of radiation and management issues, and to provide scientific opinions on the safety and efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures involving radiation use in human subjects.
