🎓 A quick reference guide for radiography professionals: Who regulates radiation safety?
As we prepare for licensure or seek to deepen our understanding of our field, understanding the international (and national) bodies that govern radiation protection is absolutely critical.
We all use these acronyms—but can you match the body to its primary focus and founding year?
This infographic provides a clear, concise overview of the key organizations in the "Science-to-Safety" pipeline:
1️⃣ The Metric Setters: ICRP and ICRU.
2️⃣ The Public Health Guardians: WHO.
3️⃣ The Scientific Experts: UNSCEAR.
4️⃣ The Nuclear Tech & Professional Bodies: IAEA and ISRRT.
5️⃣ The National Regulator (India): AERB.
Understanding these mandates helps us appreciate how scientific research translates directly into the dose limits and safety protocols we follow daily.
I've made a version without the logos for a cleaner look—perfect for a quick review card! 📝
