• Conduct daily equipment checks to ensure proper function and calibration of radiation delivery systems.

• Report any equipment malfunctions or issues to the physicist or supervisor and follow up to ensure timely resolution.

• Ensure proper documentation of treatment sessions, radiation doses, and any adjustments made to the treatment plan.

• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and hospital protocols for patient confidentiality and documentation.

Adherence to Safety Standards:

• Follow strict radiation safety protocols to minimize exposure to patients, themselves, and other staff members.

• Wear appropriate protective equipment, including dosimeters, to monitor radiation exposure.

• Stay up-to-date on safety standards, ensuring compliance with both local regulations and industry best practices.
