HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION 115095-115102



115095.  Any officer, employee, or agent of the department or of any
state or local agency with which an agreement has been made pursuant
to Section 114990 shall have the power to enter at all reasonable
times upon any private or public property within the jurisdiction of
the agency for the purpose of determining whether or not there is
compliance with or violation of this chapter, building standards
published in the State Building Standards Code relating to buildings
in which there are sources of ionizing radiation, or of the
regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter, and the owner,
occupant, or person in charge of the property shall permit that entry
and inspection. Entry into areas under the jurisdiction of the
federal government shall be effected only with the concurrence of the
federal government or its duly designated representative.



115100.  (a) The person responsible for registering mammographic
X-ray equipment shall be responsible for assuring that the
mammographic X-ray equipment under his or her jurisdiction has been
inspected and that mammography quality assurance tests are performed
by a medical physicist, health physicist, or other individual with
qualifications similar to those approved by the department and
prescribed in the May 1990 version of the "Rules of Good Practice for
Supervision and Operation of Mammographic X-Ray Equipment," as
approved by the Radiologic Technology Certification Committee.
   (b) If the department adopts regulations on or after January 1,
1993, that provide similar or stronger protection of a patient's
health and safety than the "Rules of Good Practice for Supervision
and Operation of Mammographic X-Ray Equipment," as determined by the
department, then those rules shall no longer apply to this section.



115102.  (a) A facility that operates a mammogram machine shall post
notices of serious violations in an area that is visible to
patients. For purposes of this section, "serious violation" means a
Level 1 deviation, identified by an inspector, from federal
Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 263b)
standards, in effect as of December 31, 2009, that may seriously
compromise the quality of mammography services that are offered by
the facility.
   (b) The facility shall post the notice pursuant to this section
within two working days after receipt of the documents from the
department. These documents shall remain posted for a minimum of five
working days or until action correcting the violation has been
completed, whichever is later.
