The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) is the person who is specifically responsible for ensuring that the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) program is executed, enforced, and maintained. This is because the RSO has the knowledge and expertise to develop and implement radiation safety policies and procedures, as well as oversee the use of radiation in the hospital.
