What must each radiographer or radiographer trainer carry at a job site?

In a clinical setting, it is essential for radiographers and radiographer trainers to carry a valid ID card issued by the relevant regulatory agency, as this serves as proof of their qualifications and authorization to perform radiographic procedures. This ID card not only verifies that they have completed the necessary training and comply with the regulations but also promotes safety and accountability in the workplace.

Having a valid ID contributes to the overall safety culture by ensuring that only those who are properly trained and certified are operating radiographic equipment and providing patient care. It assists in maintaining regulatory compliance and helps in identification during inspections, audits, or in emergency situations.

While other items, such as dosimeters, certification of training, or emergency response plans, may be important aspects of a radiographer’s job, they are not universally required to be carried at all times on the job site as identification is. Therefore, the requirement for a valid ID card is a crucial aspect of professional practice in the field of radiology.
