Yes, if the RSO meets the criteria of management as defined in the regulations by being any of the following: i) the chief executive officer; ii) the individual having the authority to manage, direct or administer the licensees activities; or iii) a delegate of either i or ii above. However, if the licensee has a radiation safety committee, the RSO is prohibited by 35.24(f) from serving as the management representative on the committee.
