Policies on Laboratory Safety

[Eli Port <port@northwestern.edu>]

I am helping the administration of a university develop policy for the safe 

use of radioactive material.  Uses are of between tens of microcuries and 

several millicuries in unsealed form.  Radionuclides include H-3, C-14, 

P-32, S-35, I-125, and Na-22  I would like to obtain representative 

policies from other academic institutions in the following four broad areas.



Minors working with radioactive material,



Undergraduate students working with radioactive material without the 

physical presence of a faculty member



Individuals working alone in laboratories, and



Individuals working in laboratories when buildings are otherwise vacant, 

either after normal working hours or on weekends.



If you have a written or unwritten policy regarding these areas, please 

send me copies of your policies and your comments.



Thanks



Eli
