Radiological Safety Training

Safety Training Matrix for Laboratory Personnel

This document outlines the minimum medical and training requirements for personnel working in a research setting at UC Davis.

The principal investigator or supervisor is responsible for all lab- and project-specific training, including experimental methods and techniques, specific hazards, and risk mitigation strategies. The trainee must have an opportunity to ask questions. The training record must include the topics covered, training materials used, the names and signatures of both the trainer and the trainee, and the training date. The training documentation must include verification that the trainee understands the material (e.g., a written quiz or a signed statement that the trainee understands the training topics covered).

If you have any questions about any of the training modules, please contact radsafety@ucdavis.edu.
