Frequently Asked Questions

The RSO is responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing the radiation protection program to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory requirements and to facilitate the beneficial uses of radiation in medicine, industry, and academia.

Yes, most facilities that are licensed to possess and use radioactive materials or radiation-producing equipment are required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or equivalent Agreement States to appoint a qualified RSO.

Yes, our RSOs work collaboratively with your in-house personnel and Radiation Safety Committee, aligning with your current policies, and are skilled at recommending  procedures to improve efficiency and effectiveness of operations and to meet modern standards.

Yes, we offer on-site RSO service, remote support, or a hybrid system that is tailored to the specific needs and regulatory obligations of each facility.

An RSO should have formal structured education in Health Physics, Radiation Protection, or a closely related field, along with hands-on experience and training, in order to be effective and accepted by regulators. Larger more complex programs should hire an RSO with advanced education, training, experience, and board certification.

Audits are conducted at a frequency commensurate with the degree of risk in the program, often monthly or quarterly, depending on your license conditions, type of facility, and regulatory requirements.

West Physics RSOs will thoroughly review all auditable radiation safety records such as  training, dosimetry, inventory and leak tests, equipment QC testing, etc. They also conduct a radiological survey and provide QC testing of instruments and devices. The objective is to ensure 100% compliance for your next regulatory inspection.

Yes, we handle all licensing actions including applications, amendments, and renewals to ensure timely submissions and full compliance.

We will help you implement corrective and preventative actions quickly and effectively. We can provide support during inspections and assist with regulatory communications.

Yes, we offer customized function-specific training classes online or in-person for staff using or working near radiation sources. We offer modular training programs for radiology, oncology, nuclear medicine, and ancillary staff—customized to your equipment, workflows, and state-specific regulations.

ALARA stands for “As Low As Reasonably Achievable.” It is a radiation protection philosophy that ensures occupational radiation exposure to workers is reasonably low for the job being performed, using engineering and administrative controls. We also help manage exposure through procedural guidance, monitoring, and staff education.

We implement best-in-class radiation safety programs, shielding evaluations, device calibrations, and ALARA strategies to ensure radiation exposure for both staff and patients is minimized while obtaining optimal images and outcomes.

The expert eyes of an outsourced RSO professional ensures continuous compliance with regulatory expectations, clean and organized documentation and records, and real-time support during inspections, reducing risk and burden on your internal teams.

Outsourcing eliminates the need for full-time staffing, training, and certifications, while ensuring expert oversight and rapid response to regulatory updates or incidents—ultimately saving on overhead and potential fines.

We deliver clear, actionable reports on audits, dose trends, compliance metrics, and risk mitigation strategies—keeping leadership fully informed and ready for any regulatory inspection.

Our RSOs are highly experienced with a wide range of medical imaging systems and therapeutic devices, ensuring tailored safety protocols and compliance strategies for each modality.

Our RSO team will respond to calls, emails, and texts as soon as possible. We are not restricted by weekends, holidays, and normal working hours as radiation incidents can happen anytime.  

Yes, each facility is assigned a dedicated RSO who understands your operations and acts as your direct resource for all radiation safety matters. We also have a back-up Assistant RSO trained and ready to serve which ensures coverage during times of vacation, conferences, illness etc.
