Which role is typically responsible for implementing the ALARA policy and monitoring compliance?

• A. Medical Officer
• B. Radiation Safety Officer (RSO)
• C. Facility Maintenance Supervisor
• D. Environmental Compliance Officer

Answer: (B)

The main idea is who ensures the radiation safety program is put into practice and that exposure levels are kept as low as reasonably achievable. The Radiation Safety Officer is the one charged with implementing ALARA policies, running the dose-optimization program, and monitoring compliance. This role involves developing and enforcing procedures, conducting surveys and audits, maintaining dose records, and coordinating training so staff consistently apply engineering and administrative controls to minimize exposure. The other roles focus on clinical care, facility maintenance, or environmental compliance, rather than the specialized responsibility of maintaining a comprehensive radiation safety program and ensuring adherence to ALARA.
