Who is primarily responsible for providing training to individuals exposed to 100 mrem/yr?

• A. Unit RSO
• B. Installation RSO
• C. External Consultant
• D. Health Physics Team

Answer: (A)

Unit-level responsibility for training personnel exposed to 100 mrem/yr rests with the Unit Radiation Safety Officer because they oversee the radiological work within their specific unit and are empowered to implement and enforce the training program directly where the work happens. They ensure new hires and current workers receive proper initial and refresher training on dose limits, ALARA practices, procedures, and safe work controls, and they keep the required training records. The Installation RSO handles overarching policy and site-wide compliance, but day-to-day training tailored to a unit’s tasks is managed by the unit RSO. The Health Physics Team provides technical support and expertise, while an external consultant might be brought in for specialized topics, but the unit RSO remains the primary person responsible for delivering and coordinating that training.
