Radiation Safety SectionGoals and Measure
For 2005
Goal Measures
Customer / Stakeholder Service
Implement NRC Orders regarding enhanced security (called preventive measures) for our 6 irradiator facilities
Inform management and irradiator facilities of the NRC OrdersDevelop a committee to review the Order, generate an implementation planImplement plan before due date of 180 days after final rules are promulgated
Freeze dirtbag !!!!!
Go ahead, make my day
Goal Measures
Improvements to a Critical Process
Work with the purchasing department to develop a new procedure for users to purchase radioactive materials that will be beneficial to Users, Purchasing, and us
Meet with Purchasing to identify issues and brainstorm on possible procedural modificationsCarefully review Purchasing’s draft proposal for a new policyImplement policy changes in our office to supplement the new process
Goal Measures
Learning, Growth and Innovation
Provide professional growth opportunities which will benefit the Radiation Safety Office staff, the Office itself, and UNC
Encourage staff to attend NCHPS meetings, Duke seminars, and other professional meetings as budget allowsEncourage staff presentations at EHS In-service, Duke Seminars, NCHPS meetingsConduct internal in-services on new medical procedures, new regulatory requirements, new technologies
Goal Measures
Financial Accountability and Performance
Improve personnel dosimetry program to cut down on cost, improve efficiency, and maintain regulatory compliance
Get RSC approval on new dosimetry policy regarding non-returned dosimeters from persons who aren’t required to be monitoredDelete dosimeter series that meet the termination criteriaEncourage the termination of unnecessary dosimetersModify the external monitoring policy for the hospital to reduce conservatism in EDE measurements which will reduce the number of investigations done quarterly and reduce the number of waist badges
