What is a radiation protection supervisor?

Radiation Protection Supervisors (RPS) are professionals responsible for overseeing the safe use of radioactive materials and equipment within an organization. They ensure that radiation exposure to staff, the public, and the environment is kept as low as reasonably achievable, in compliance with legal requirements. Their duties include monitoring radiation levels, providing safety training, and implementing safety procedures. RPSs play a vital role in maintaining a safe workplace, especially in healthcare, research, and nuclear industries.
