Permits must be renewed annually

Once a faculty member or equivalent (Approved Supervisor) has submitted a RS-1 and has received final approval to use radioactive material from the University Radiation Safety Committee and Radiation Safety, the continued use of radioactive material will be allowed only if the Approved Supervisor completes and returns the required paper work sent out annually by the Radiation Safety Section of EHS.

To obtain authorization for the use of radioactive materials from the University Radiation Safety Committee (URSC), an RS-1 form, Permit For The Use of Radioactive Materials, must be completed. This form, and others that may be required, are available from the EHS web site, www.ehs.ohio- state.edu. This permit must undergo a pre-review by Radiation Safety prior to final submission to the URSC. The Approved Supervisor will receive written notification of the permit’s status after URSC review.
