The designated storage area for dosimeters must be approved by whom?

• A. RSO
• B. BE/RSO
• C. Facility Manager
• D. Security Supervisor

Answer: (A)

The designated dosimeter storage area is part of the radiation safety program, and its approval rests with the Radiation Safety Officer. The RSO is responsible for overseeing the dosimetry program, which includes ensuring the storage area is secure, properly labeled, and protected from tampering or environmental factors that could affect readings. They also ensure appropriate access control and recordkeeping, so only authorized personnel can handle dosimeters and the chain of custody is maintained. While facilities staff or security may support access and operation, they do not authorize the dosimeter storage area. If someone is both a biosafety/RSO, their authority to approve would come from that RSO role.
