Which document designates BE responsibilities for radiation safety in the organization?

• A. National Council on Radiation Protection Guidelines
• B. Air Force Instruction 48-109
• C. Department of Defense Instruction 6050
• D. Occupational Safety and Health Administration Guidelines

Answer: (B)

Assigning who is responsible for radiation safety within an organization is set by a formal directive that names roles, duties, and the structure of the program. In the Air Force, that guidance is provided by Air Force Instruction 48-109, which designates the Radiation Safety Officer and lays out the program requirements, training, dosimetry oversight, procedures, and the chain of command for radiation safety. This instruction ensures clear accountability and consistent implementation of radiation safety practices, maintaining regulatory compliance and ALARA principles throughout the organization.

The other documents are not the specific Air Force directive for this purpose: they might offer general guidelines or broader DoD or OSHA safety guidance, but they do not assign BE radiation-safety responsibilities within the Air Force in a binding, program-specific way.
