  • How do I get my radiation safety training certificate?

    The certificate will be sent to your Authorized User (or if IEN, Charlie Turgeon) within 1 month of your training. If your Authorized User doesn't have it, email ORS to request it.

  • My lab plans to surplus our x-ray machine Is there anything special I need to do before asking Georgia Tech Logistics to pick it up?

    Yes. Notify the Office of Radiological Safety that you would like to surplus your x-ray machine. ORS will remove the x-ray tube (if applicable), and provide a letter indicating to GT Logistics that it is acceptable to surplus.

  • I completed IEN's Cleanroom Orientation that included X-Ray Safety Training, but I still don't have access to the x-ray machine I need to use. What do I do?

    Email the Office of Radiological Safety. Common reasons include not having completed a Form B for that x-ray machine or not having completed the X-Ray Refresher Training, required every 2 years.

  • My radioactive material, x-ray radiation, or other radiation related posting/label is lost or damaged. How can I get a replacement?

    Contact the Office of Radiological Safety and indicate which posting needs to be replaced. ORS will provide a new posting.
