FYI, my colleague (Stephanie Publicker) has added the following section on "Radiation Safety in Laboratories" to NLM's "Enviro-Health Links - Laboratory Safety"

Radiation Safety in Laboratories
For information specific to your situation, check with your institution's radiation safety department

Subject: [DCHAS-L] radiation safety
Hi, all,
I am getting ready to start a new job where I will need to deal with radioactive materials. Can anybody direct me to some resources where I can find out about safety rules and regulations
for such substances?
Thank you for any help you may offer.
