The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) and Canon Medical Systems USA are taking applications for their Safety First grant program.

This initiative awards two ASRT members with up to $7,000 in funds provided by Canon for implementing a program that improves the safety of radiologic technologists in the workplace, according to the ASRT and Canon.

In 2017, award recipients used the grant to purchase lead-free aprons for a hospital in Fredericksburg, VA, and an MRI-safe cart for a hospital in Terre Haute, IN.

Eligible facilities can apply online; the deadline is June 29.
