Who determines who the Monitoring Personnel are under the program?

• A. RDO.
• B. Safety Officer.
• C. Installation Radiation Safety Officer (IRSO).
• D. Medical Officer.

Answer: (C)

The installation’s radiation safety program is overseen by the Installation Radiation Safety Officer, who has the authority to designate who performs monitoring tasks. This person is responsible for implementing the program, ensuring those designated as Monitoring Personnel have the proper training, authorization, and access to necessary tools like dosimeters and survey instruments, and for maintaining the exposure records and enforcing ALARA. The Safety Officer and Medical Officer play important safety and health roles, but they don’t have the specific delegated authority to determine Monitoring Personnel; the IRSO does, because this designation directly governs how exposure is monitored and controlled on site.
