Phase One: Worker registration module
The first phase of the new radiation management system, Odyssey, was launched in August 2024, transitioning the registration of radiation workers from paper-based forms to an online digital format.
Since its launch, departments engaged in ionising radiation activities have been using Odyssey, benefitting from streamlined online registration and enhanced visibility of departmental data. Over 200 registrations have been processed so far, with an average processing time (from initiation email by senior radiation protection supervisor (SRPS) to completion) of seven working days. The fastest registration passed through all five approval stages in just 75 minutes.
Phase Two: Inventory, waste management, radiation generating devices and radiation protection instruments
Starting from 7 April, Odyssey’s additional modules to manage the University’s inventory of radioactive sources and record radioactive waste generated by departments will be implemented across relevant departments. This phase will also include modules to manage radiation generating devices and hand-held equipment used in radiation activities.
To support users with the new system, a variety of resources are available to provide training and support to impacted departments. The project team is collaborating with each department SRPS to discuss and support department-specific needs.
If you have any questions or require further information, please contact your department SRPS, the Occupational Health and Safety Radiation Team, or the project team via Health and Safety Systems Support.
