RSO stands for which role?

• A. Radiation Safety Officer
• B. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
• C. Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act
• D. Parts Per Million

Answer: (A)

RSO stands for Radiation Safety Officer, the person charged with running a facility’s radiation safety program. This role is the point person for protecting workers and the public from exposure to ionizing radiation, and it involves developing and enforcing safety procedures, ensuring compliance with licenses and regulations, performing or overseeing area surveys and contamination checks, managing dosimetry and exposure records, coordinating training and access controls, and guiding incident response and audits. The other options describe an act or a unit, not a role: a federal statute for hazardous waste, a lead-related act, and a unit of measurement, so they don’t denote a person responsible for radiation safety.
