FANR-Compliant Safety Assessments
A radiation safety assessment is a fundamental FANR licensing requirement. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of your facility to ensure that radiation exposure levels for staff, patients, and the public are within acceptable limits, and that the radiation shielding and protection measures are adequate for the types and quantities of radiation sources used.
EntroMedical conducts thorough safety assessments performed by competent radiation experts, covering all aspects of radiation protection design, operational safety, and environmental impact.
What Our Safety Assessment Covers
- Radiation Exposure Evaluation — Assessment of occupational and public dose levels to ensure compliance with FANR dose limits and the ALARA principle.
- Shielding Adequacy Review — Verification that existing or proposed radiation shielding meets the required protection levels for all adjacent areas.
- Workload Assessment — Analysis of equipment workload, usage patterns, and occupancy factors to determine actual shielding requirements.
- Environmental Impact Assessment — Evaluation of potential radiation impact on surrounding areas, including public spaces, adjacent rooms, and building exteriors.
- Equipment Room Layout Review — Assessment of room design, equipment positioning, and workflow patterns to optimize radiation protection.
- FANR Compliance Reporting — Preparation of formal safety assessment reports meeting FANR documentation requirements for license applications and renewals.
- Dose Assessment — Calculation of expected doses to workers, patients, and members of the public based on facility-specific parameters.
When Do You Need a Safety Assessment?
Safety assessments are required for new facility construction, equipment additions or upgrades, room modifications, FANR license applications and renewals, and whenever there are significant changes to radiation practices. EntroMedical provides rapid turnaround on safety assessments to avoid delays in your licensing process.
