Program Description
The CA Dept of Public Health – Radiologic Health Branch (RHB) regulates the use of ionizing radiation sources.
Ionizing radiation safety at SFSU consists of two separate programs, radioactive materials and radiation-producing equipment.
Radioactive materials
Facilities licensed to use radioactive materials must develop and implement an approved written radiation safety program and provide training to personnel using radioactive materials.

SFSU’s written Radiation Safety Program is available on the EH&S website.
Radiation-producing equipment
Every radiation-producing machine (i.e., x-ray machines and electron microscopes) must be registered with the CA RHB.
- Registration fees apply to each machine.
