X-Ray Safety
In Ontario, the installation and use of X-ray sources is regulated, in part, by Regulation 861 – X-ray Safety under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Registration and training prior to use or installation of these devices is required.
To register a device with the Office of Human Resouces - Health and Safety, a Supervisor must complete and submit an application for review of your X-ray source:
- ensure all personnel have received training on X-Ray Safety and operation of the device as per manufacturer's directions
- complete the Application for Registration and Installation of an X-ray Source (Form ON0057E) with training certificates appended
- contact the Facilities Asset Manager at scpmanager.plant@lakeheadu.ca to schedule a plan review and create location drawings that meet the requirements in subsection 6(4) of Regulation 861 – X-ray Safety
