The Office of Radiological Safety performs radiation contamination surveys in designated Radioactive Materials (RAM) labs every 3 months.  These surveys also include checks to ensure compliance with state regulations regarding radioactive materials and/or equipment using radioactive sources and general safe handling of radioactive materials. This information can be found in more detail in the GT Radiation Safety Policy Manual.

All persons working in GT labs must be formally oriented to the lab and its hazards prior to starting work by the PI or a senior lab staff member designated by the PI. Guidelines for creating an Orientation Check List can be found in Creating a Safety Culture in the Laboratory.

All exterior lab doors (to the hall or to the outside of the building) must be posted with an emergency notification card that has the name and emergency contact telephone numbers of the PI and two other responsible individuals who are qualified to answer questions about lab hazards (include both day and night numbers). Posting the GT Police number or the building manager’s number alone is not adequate.  These signs must also be posted to designate individual lab areas in buildings designed with "open labs" (IBB, Whitaker, EBB).
