Odyssey: Higher Education
Manage the radioactive material and machines used for research, demonstrations, course work, as well as health physics.
ODYSSEY WORKFLOWS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
Cradle-to-Grave Inventory Management
Manage radioactive sealed and unsealed sources, leak testing, authorized limits, isotopes, users, locations, waste containers with automatic decay calculations, and custom compliance thresholds in accordance with your permit(s) or license(s). Includes a QR code labeling tool and a mobile-friendly interface to streamline access to information as needed.
Analytical Reporting
Access to a centralized library of pre-configured reports designed to satisfy internal as well as regulatory requirements. Reports are fully automated, customizable, brand-ready, and also can be saved as presets to ensure consistent and efficient reporting on a pre-determined basis.
Dosimetry Management
Direct integrations with Mirion, Landauer, and Radetco, as well as advanced management tools including dashboards for abnormal readings, ALARA thresholds, badge distribution tracking, and automated NRC approved Form 5 generation. Built-in high-dose reading notifications and dose discussion management.
Asset Management
Comprehensive management of physical assets including machines, PPE, and portable equipment. Schedule and track inspections, surveys, and audits with fully customizable frequencies. Also includes QR code labeling tools for efficient asset tracking and quick access to dedicated asset profile.
Compliance Calendar
A centralized calendar for all due dates across Machines, Equipment, Site, and Personnel Inspections, Surveys, Audits, Training, Leak Tests, and more. It integrates with Outlook and Google, can be filtered to show only relevant events, and also supports scalable, role-based view permissions for every user.
Training
Create new courses or upload existing courses (PDF, PowerPoint, Video) for assignments, testing, and completion tracking. Certificates are generated upon a passing grade, and additionally reassignments can be scheduled on a recurring basis.
Incident Management
Record and manage hazards, injuries, illnesses, safety events, as well as near misses using structured case workflows. In addition, assign responsible personnel and log incident locations for historical tracking, with the goal of reducing the overall number of reported incidents over time.
Internal Workforce Process Enforcement
Manage inspections, surveys, safety data sheets, audits, assessments, questionnaires, as well as documented processes in one place. Furthermore, submit processes for signature or approval, store them in dedicated profiles, and compile them for analysis and reporting.
recommended modules to maximize workflows

THE CHALLENGE
As a university RSO, you are responsible for the safety of all researchers, clinics, and students who use ionizing sources of radiation, including X-ray machines as well as radioactive material. In addition to that are training, personnel radiation monitoring, radiation surveys and compliance audits, RAM inventory and waste disposal, physics support, not to mention maintenance of all x-ray machine registrations and licenses.
Being a radiation safety officer in higher education is a big job, and sometimes things can slip through the cracks.
THE SOLUTION
Odyssey was designed by radiation safety experts to help radiation safety staff not only to run their programs more effectively, but also more efficiently. We know what it takes to run a successful program, and how important it is that nothing gets left to chance. Odyssey eliminates the outdated binders and endless spreadsheets you’ve used in the past. The result is a centralized database for all of your program’s documentation, personnel monitoring, and inventory.
