What is the primary purpose of a radiation safety audit?

The primary purpose of a radiation safety audit is to evaluate radiation safety policies and identify areas for improvement. This process involves a systematic review of current practices, compliance with established protocols, and the effectiveness of existing safety measures. By conducting this audit, organizations can assess whether their radiation protection practices align with regulatory standards and internal policies.

The outcome can highlight gaps in safety procedures, training needs, or updates required in operational practices to minimize the risks associated with radiation exposure. Ultimately, this proactive approach enhances overall safety for both workers and the public by ensuring that all radiation safety protocols are adequate and effectively implemented.
