MR Safety Officer responsibilities
✓ ~~> The role of MRSO is often carried out by the senior
Radiographer (in the USA this will generally be an MR technologist), but other
suitably trained individuals could also fill this role. Multiple MRSOs could be
appointed, provided only one is in charge at a given time. His/her
responsibilities
include the following:
To be readily accessible and available (eg, to the operators of the MR
system) at all times that the MR facility is accessible.
Ensuring that proper policies and procedures for day-today MR safety are
enforced.
Developing, documenting, and introducing, in conjunction with and under
the authority of the MRMD/MRRD, safe working procedures for the MR
environment.

Ensuring that adequate written safety procedures, work instructions,
emergency procedures, and operating instructions are issued to all
concerned after full consultation with the MRMD/MRRD (and, if/as needed,
the MRSE).
Ensuring that appropriate measures for minimizing risks to health that arise
from the use of or exposure to the MR equipment, as per the direction of the
MRMD/MRRD, are implemented and monitored.
Managing hazards posed by the MR equipment, and monitoring the
measures taken to protect against such hazards.
Ensuring that all Heads of Departments and senior medical staff members
who are responsible for personnel who will be involved with the MR system
are informed of the formal procedures for training and authorization.
Ensuring that medical, technical, nursing, and all other relevant staff groups
(including ancillary workers) who may be exposed to the MR environment are
educated appropriately on a regular basis as to the safety requirements
and updated as necessary.
