  • Incidents will be reviewed to determine if they require immediate response, involve regulatory or safety concerns, or are reportable events.
  • Safety concerns must be addressed immediately.
  • Serious incidents should be reported to the RSO as soon as immediate safety concerns are resolved due to time-dependent reporting requirements.
  • A root cause analysis will be conducted to document the incident, identify causes and contributing factors, assess noncompliance, and determine corrective actions.
  • The response to radiation safety incidents, reportable events, and noncompliance will be handled as outlined in the policy (Pitt | UPMC) and procedure (Pitt | UPMC).
