MR Safety Officer responsibilities - Answer-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
