JCU is committed to providing a safe workplace for staff, students and visitors to the University. The University recognises the need to protect students, staff and the environment from potential hazards associated with ionising radiation.
The JCU Radiation Safety Committee is a sub-committee to the JCU Health, Safety and Environment Advisory Committee (HSEAC). The current Terms of Reference for the committee are maintained by the HSE Unit.
The Radiation Safety Sub-Committee was established to monitor and advise on all radiation issues arising from practices authorised under possession licences issued to JCU as a corporation and to its Colleges, Divisions and Directorates.
Any new radiation sources, apparatus or processes proposed, will need to be raised at the Radiation Safety Sub-Committee meetings.
The disposal of any radiation sources or apparatus will need to be raised at the Radiation Safety Sub-Committee meetings.
Composition of Committee | Member and Position Title |
---|---|
Chairperson, (Member of HSEAC for University Radiation Safety – Chairperson) | Dr Kevin Blake, Analytical Research Centre, Possession Licensee, Advanced Analytical Centre |
University Appointed Radiation Safety Officers | Dr Jen Whan (or Nominee), RSO, Advanced Analytical Centre (Cairns) Dr Yi Hu (or Nominee), RSO, Advanced Analytical Centre (Townsville) Associate Professor John Cavalieri (or Nominee), RSO, Veterinary Biomedical Services Ms Serrin Rowarth (or Nominee), RSO, Australian Institute of Tropical Health Medicine (Townsville) Mr Phil Walsh (or Nominee) RSO, Australian Institute of Tropical Health Medicine (Cairns) Mr Ray Layton (or Nominee), RSO, Pharmacy & Molecular Sciences John Daicopoulos (or Nominee), RSO, Engineering and Physical Sciences |
Director, Divisional Operations, Division of Tropical Health and Medicine | Mr Geoffrey Gorton (or Nominee) |
Manager, Laboratories and Technical Support for the Division of Tropical Environments and Societies | Mrs Sue Kelly (or Nominee) |
Advisors by Invitation: Controlled Entities Radiation Safety Officers |
Miss Victoria Thomas (or Nominee), JCU UniVet Dr Amar Sholapurka (or Nominee), Tropical Queensland Centre of Oral Health |
Advisors by Invitation: | Professor Peter Junk (or Nominee), College of Science and Engineering Professor Alan Baxter (or Nominee), Comparative Genomics Centre Mr Peter Robertson (or Nominee), College of Science and Engineering |
Permanent Advisor HSE Unit | Mr Drew Kleier (or Nominee), HSE Biological, Radiation and Chemicals Safety Advisor, Health, Safety and Environment Unit |
Secretariat | Ms Michelle Nethery (or Nominee), HSE Administrative Officer |
Prior to applying for a research project that involves radiation apparatus or sources, the applicant must receive in concept, approval from the relevant RSO and College Manager or Dean. This is to indicate that, if approved, the project will be supported.
Once the project approval is received, the required steps to use the source or apparatus must be put in place.
Projects will broadly fit two categories:
- There is an existing isotope or apparatus in use and this is already documented in a radiation safety plan. This will involve minor changes to allow use.
- There is no existing use of an isotope or apparatus, and there is no documented radiation safety plan. Involving a reasonable investment of time and money to progress. The application aspects could take 180 days to be processed as the various components are submitted to the regulator.
Dose badges are issued by the HSE Biological, Radiation and Chemicals Safety Advisor. If you require a dose badge contact your Radiation Safety Officer.
