All students using Radioactive materials or x-rays must register as a Radiation
Worker with the Radiation Safety Office and attend a training program. 
Students 18 yrs. of age and less must have their faculty member submit a
protocol defining radiation sources.  The protocol is reviewed and appropriate
limitations are added before the student begins work.

I have been asked to gather information about how different colleges and
universities (in particular, the Radiation Safety Office, Health Physics
Office,
etc.) handle safety in student (academic not research) laboratories which use
sealed sources, radiation producing machinery, radioactive biological tracers,
etc.

Are formal procedures implimented at the institution (If so, what are
they), or are the faculty left to their own devices?

Any information will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for all responses.
