This Radiation Safety highly-interactive training
course will provide you with all the necessary information and abilities to
successfully understand both ionising and non-ionising types of radiation
materials and, how to effectively manage these radiation materials safely and
with confidence to ensure personnel health and safety and/or to prevent
potential environmental impacts.
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.
This Radiation Safety
training course will develop your ability to critically assess exposure risks
associated with the use, storage and disposal of radiation materials, at all
stages of administrative, operational and laboratory activities.
This
course will highlight:
The various types and harmful
properties of ionising and non-ionising radiation
The importance and how to
effectively carry out radiation exposure assessments
Understanding key radiation safety
management and protection principles
The biological effects of
radiation exposure to the human body
The entire training
course topics covered on this training is applicable for compliance with the
regulation bodies’ requirement.

Organizational Impact
By successfully
managing radiation safety an organization will ensure they effectively control
radiation exposure risks and, therefore will protect their business reputation.
The organisational impact will be:
Staff being able to critically
assess and control risks from radioactive materials
Improved safe control of radiation
material use, storage and disposal
Prevention of radiation exposure
to personnel and/or damage to environment
Efficient development of practical
in-house radiation protection standards and procedures
Prevention of potential radiation
incidents to personnel’s health and/or the environment
An increased business reputation
as a health and safety leader
Personal Impact
Training Course
participants will learn how to effectively assess and safely use, store and
dispose of radioactive materials using proven risk and safety management
techniques and personal skills. The personal impact will be:
