With the increasing use of radiation in industrial applications, medical technologies and energy production, radiation safety professionals are in high demand. In recent years, more than 50 percent of Radiation Safety students received offers of employment before completing their final exam.
Finding careers in a range of sectors, radiation safety personnel may be responsible for:
- Tracking and recording radioactivity levels in various environments.
- Implementing preventative measures that are critical to ensuring the safety of employees and the public.
- Overseeing on-site safety and performing safety audits and tests.
