Fermilab Radiological Control Manual (FRCM)

“An important objective at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is to do our research in a manner such that the safety of personnel and the protection of the environment receives the highest consideration while at the same time we pursue excellence in the use of our laboratory facilities. The procedures and restrictions in this Fermilab Radiological Control Manual have been carefully chosen to attain these goals in the context of the laboratory’s program of Integrated Safety Management.

All laboratory employees, users, and subcontractor personnel are expected to adhere to our environment, safety and health policies. These general policies are stated in the Fermilab Environment, Safety and Health Manual of which the Fermilab Radiological Control Manual is an important part. Non-cooperation or flagrant disregard of environment, safety and health procedures will be cause for disciplinary action or for denial of the use of Fermilab facilities.” —Nigel Lockyer – September 2013
