Course Description
This highly-interactive training course will provide you with all the necessary information and abilities to successfully understand both ionizing and non-ionizing 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) organizations 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
