WHAT IS THE HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY?

The Health Physics Society is a professional society of individuals who, since 1956, have been devoted to protecting people and their environment from radiation hazards while making it possible to benefit from the many technologies that use radioactive materials and radiation sources.

The Health Physics Society provides educational resources related to ionizing radiation, nonionizing radiation, radiation detection, and radiation research.

The Health Physics Society is dedicated to making sure individuals who work in the field of health physics have essential information and the capability to protect workers and the public from unnecessary radiation exposure.

The Health Physics Society also has a goal of providing information to assist in the public's understanding of radiation and health physics.  

Its nearly 4,000 members include scientists, safety professionals, physicists, engineers, attorneys, and other professionals from academia, industry, medical institutions, state and federal government, the national laboratories, the military, and other organizations.
