Threshold Limit Values (TLVs)  and Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) have been established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists(ACGIH), WorkSafeBC(WCB) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).</p> <p>Simon Fraser University has a comprehensive Radiation Safety Program (RSP) which includes ionizing (IR) and non-ionizing radiation (NIR), as part of several Environmental Health & Research Safety Programs. The program offers consulting and surveying to meet federal, provincial and  regulatory requirements.</p> <p>Prior to commencing work with instrumentation which generates strong magnetic fields (e.g. superconducting magnets, NMR, MRI), employees, researchers, students or visitors are required to complete instrument specific <a href="https://www.sfu.ca/srs/work-research-safety/research-safety/magnet-safety/training.html">training</a>.</p> <h3>Radiation Safety Policy</h3> <p>The Magnet Safety Program falls under SFU's <a href="http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/research/r20-04.html" target="_blank">Radiation Safety policy R20.04</a>. Simon Fraser University’s Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S), Radiation Safety,  provides safety consultation and monitors exposure to operators of NIR equipment in order to reduce risk of injury and prevent overexposure.</p> <h3>University Radiation Safety committee    </h3> <p>This Research Safety committee provides internal audits of activities involving ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
