Course Description

General workers will all need induction training to ensure that they are capable of recognizing and understanding warning signs, signals and barriers. All workers need to comply with radiation safety instructions given by qualified workers and Radiation Protection Officers (RPOs). Workers who are partially involved with radiation, for example individuals working with gauges (in which the source remains within the protective housing), industrial radiography assistants and maintenance personnel, need further radiation safety training commensurate with the degree of their involvement. The level of training needed will depend on the specific application. However, supervision by the qualified worker or by the RPO is always necessary. The radiation safety training provided for workers will be affected by means of briefings, demonstrations and practical exercises. This course has been designed according to these requirements.
