Timely reporting and thorough investigation of incidents or accidents are critical to preventing repeat occurrences. An accident is an unplanned event that causes personal injury or property damage. A “near miss” is an event that could have caused personal injury, danger to health, and/or property damage or the environment.
In the event of an accident, incident or exposure, the injured or exposed person's supervisor should complete and submit the “Injury / Accident / Near Miss Report”. Please click here for more information on accident reporting and investigation.
In the case of an emergency, notify other people in the area and call the 24-hour Security Hotline at 3442 8888 or call 999.
For Public
LSU will work with University Radiation Protection Officers (URPOs) to revise the University’s policies and guidelines for Radiation Safety. A new policy/guideline regarding the requirement of medical examination for radiation workers will be established and submitted to the University for approval within this year. Please forward this message to relevant personnel engaged in radiation work in your department and ensure appropriate actions are taken to align with the latest policy development.
By law (Cap 303), any person engaged in radiation work (who receives a radiation dose >6mSv per year during IA operation) or any work/process involving the handling or transport of any unsealed radioactive substance must undergo a medical examination by the Medical Panel. They must also be certified fit for such employment by the Radiation Board, with re-examinations every 14 months during continuous employment. Such individuals are classified as “radiation workers”.
