Workplace Health and Safety is culturally embedded. A health and safety representative is elected from each imaging modality area. 

The representatives meet and conduct workplace inspections bi-monthly where any identified safety concerns undergo a risk assessment, facilitating regular review of work practices and ensuring a safe environment.  

The Regional Imaging clinics maintain all standard office workplace safety precautions but also unique precautions relating specifically to surgical procedures and radiation dose safety.

Specific policies and procedures are implemented to protect patients and staff from blood-born disease and radiation dose exposure.

Particular health and safety attention is required in the use of injectable radiation isotopes in their Nuclear Medicine department.

Diligent adherence to safety must also be implemented when screening patients entering the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) department or serious consequences can result for both patients and staff.  

Regional Imaging utilise the latest low dose technology and work to ensure patients receive the minimal radiation dose required to find the answers to medical problems.
