This highly-intensive training course will provide you with all the required information and abilities to successfully comprehend both ionising and non-ionising types of radiation materials and, how to effectively handle these radiation materials safely and with confidence to ensure personnel health and safety and/or to prevent potential environmental effects.
Most business sector (industry, commercial and service) organisations use, store and dispose of radioactive materials within their normal day-to-day business activities, these business sectors include:
- Oil and gas industry (offshore and onshore facilities)
- Medical facilities (hospitals and clinics)
- Service industries (laboratories, etc.)
- Manufacturing companies
- Plus, many other business sectors
Personnel need to be fully informed, trained and monitored to ensure they are not exposed to radiation materials during their work activities and/or when using, storing or disposing of radioactive sources.
Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will learn:
- How to carry out radiation exposure assessments?
- How to distinguish the two types of radiation?
- How to determine the effects of radiation exposure on personnel?
- How to enhance and implement radiation control procedures?
- How to transport, transfer and dispose of radiation materials?
