The University of Colorado Radiation Safety Handbook (RSH) is intended to be a user’s guide for anyone working with radioactive materials and/or radiation-producing machines. Radioactive materials and ionizing radiation include unsealed radioisotopes, sealed sources, and x-ray machines. The RSH is required by the University’s Radioactive Materials License and is approved by the CU Radiation Safety Committee. This document contains guidelines and policies of the CU Radiation Safety Program for the Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses.
