Radiation Safety

Radiation safety at Providence College focuses on the safe use of lasers and x-ray equipment in support of teaching, research, and other campus activities.

Our Laser Safety Program provides guidance on how lasers are used in laboratories and outlines the appropriate safety practices, procedures, and protective measures needed to help prevent exposure incidents.

Similarly, the College’s Radiation Safety Program provides guidance for the safe use of x-ray equipment and helps ensure that appropriate procedures and protections are in place for both x-ray operators and individuals receiving x-rays.

Our goal is to support the safe use of these technologies while protecting students, faculty, staff, and the broader campus community.
