Best Practices for Managing a Compliant ALARA Program

Managing an effective ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) program is a critical part of protecting staff and maintaining regulatory compliance in radiation safety programs. But understanding the difference between regulatory dose limits, ALARA trigger levels, and how to manage them efficiently can be challenging—especially when programs rely on manual processes.

In this practical training session, we’ll break down the fundamentals of ALARA programs and show how radiation safety leaders can streamline oversight while maintaining strong compliance. You’ll learn how ALARA programs are structured, what regulators expect, and how to demonstrate that your program is working effectively.

We’ll also explore the difference between manual and digital ALARA program management, including how automated tools can simplify monitoring, documentation, and follow-up activities.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• What ALARA means and why it’s essential to radiation protection programs
• The difference between regulatory dose limits and ALARA program trigger levels
• Key regulatory requirements and operational components of an effective ALARA program
• Practical approaches to demonstrating compliance and program oversight
• The advantages of digital ALARA management vs. manual processes
• How the ALARA Service supports program monitoring and documentation

This session is designed for Radiation Safety Officers, individuals responsible for radiation protection programs, supervisors and directors of ionizing imaging departments, and technologists who wear radiation dosimeters.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will understand how to structure and manage an effective ALARA program, confidently distinguish between regulatory and program thresholds, and evaluate whether manual or automated approaches best support their radiation safety program.
