Risk Assessment

["Susan Harrison" <SHarriso@hillcrest.com>]

I am new to this list and have never contributed.  I am a Radiology

Director for a medium sized rural hospital.  Our new Safety Officer for

the hospital has asked me to perform a Risk Assessment for our Radiation

Safety plan.  These are the following potential "hazards" I have

identified thus far.  Our Safety Officer, however, has mentioned that he

would like a list of ALL possible radiation-related possibilites (no

matter how extreme the may seem)...so, I ask you to please, please

assist me with suggestions for this list.



Here is what I have:

Radiating a Pregnant Patient

Large, Moderate, and Minor Spill (internal and external)

Theft of Radioactive Material from the Nuc Med Hot Lab

Employee Exceeding Annual Limits



Please help me with any other suggestions.



Thank you  in advance,

Susan Harrison
