Radiation Safety Institute of Canada

Radiation Safety Institute of Canada is an independent Canadian nonprofit organization and registered charity focused on radiation protection, safety education, and technical services rather than drug development. Founded in 1980, it provides consulting, laboratory testing, dosimetry, radon-related services, survey meter calibration, leak testing of sealed sources, shielding calculations, workplace audits, and regulatory support for organizations using radiation sources. The institute also runs training and certification programs such as Radiation Safety Officer and X-Ray Safety Officer courses, and publishes educational resources intended to translate complex radiation science into practical guidance. Its work spans occupational, environmental, medical-imaging, and community radiation safety across Canada, with headquarters in Toronto and laboratory operations in Saskatoon.
