The role
What a health physics monitor actually does, day to day.
As a health physics monitor, you make sure radiation does not hurt people. You use special equipment to measure radiation levels in hospitals (where doctors use it to scan patients), in industry and in research labs. You check that machines work safely and that staff follow the rules.
If there is ever a spill or leak of radiation, you investigate what happened and tell people how to fix it and stay safe. You also teach hospital and factory staff about radiation safety. The work is important because it protects both workers and the public from invisible dangers.
