| The
Radiation Safety Program provides comprehensive health physics
support service to The University of Texas Health Science
Center at Houston community.
The radiation safety mission is to assist in maintaining safe
and healthy settings for research and clinical activities.
The program fulfills this mission by assisting the institution's
Radiation Safety Committee, performing routine laboratory
inspections, providing personnel, area and environmental monitoring,
and responding to emergency situations.
Please feel free to contact us if we may be of assistance
or if you have any safety concerns to be addressed.
