The ventilation cabinet is the most important safety equipment in the laboratory.

Issues that must be ascertained in risk assessments for work involving sources of radiation:

  • Does the project comply with the approvals granted to UiO for use of radiation?
  • Are there any other methods that do not involve the use of sources of radiation (obligation to substitute)?
  • Does the use of these sources of radiation involve any special requirements for the design of premises, such as ventilation, ventilation cabinets or shielding of walls, floors and ceilings?
  • Are any physical safety mechanisms required, such as door interlock, warning lights etc.?
  • How are the sources of radiation to be disposed of?
  • Does the use of these sources of radiation require any special training?
  • Does the transport of these sources of radiation involve any special requirements?
  • Are targeted health checks required by legislation?
