What should you do with tools returned from the RCA tool room after use?

When tools are returned from the radiologically controlled area (RCA) after use, the appropriate action is to return them to the tool room. This procedure is critical for maintaining an organized and efficient work environment, ensuring that tools are properly handled and stored. Returning tools to the tool room allows for appropriate inventory management and prevents clutter in the radiologically controlled area, which is crucial for safety.

Maintaining a designated area for tools helps ensure that they are available for future use while minimizing the risk of contamination or misuse. This practice also allows for proper inspection and maintenance of the tools before they are reused, safeguarding the health and safety of all personnel who work in or around radiological environments.
