Internal regulations for radiological protection at the Eindhoven University TU/e prohibit any radiological practice without prior authorization by the team Radiation Protection (SBD). In short this implies that any worker or student needs to have a personal authorization by the team Radiaton Protection for any work, handling or practice with:

• Radioactive substances or materials that contain radioactive substances
• X-ray generators, accelerators and other equipment which produce ionizing radiations

This rule applies for all workers and students; irrespective whether one is attached to TU/e or any other institution of company at the TU/e premises. The objective of the system of ‘SBD-authorization for radiological work’ is to assure compliance with regulations and provisions regarding the radiation protection of workers. It concerns p.e.:

• Risk assessment of intended radiological activities
• Training and  instruction of workers
• Registration and classification of workers
• Personal dose control for radiological workers
• Counseling and supervision by certified experts

For new applications one must contact the team Radiation Protection early in advance, to provide sufficient time for the necessary preparations and provisions. After receipt of notification the team will contact the applicant for further information and arrangements.

All newly registered workers must attend special sessions for instructions on radiological protection, organized by the team Radiation Protection.
