RSO stands for radiation safety officer. They are responsible for ensuring safe use of radiation sources in different settings. These settings can be medical facilities, industrial sites, research laboratories, or any other place that is known to produce ionizing radiation.

Their job is to make sure radiation safety programs are being followed in order to protect people and the environment from harmful ionizing radiation.

# data[].attributes.body
-Has a degree in a relevant discipline like medical physics is likely to be qualified to be an RSO.

-Has a strong background in radiation safety

-Has education and hands on training within the field (class and lab training)
