Course Description
This course covers theory, detection, health effects, and regulation of ionizing radiation. Particular emphasis is on compliance with federal regulations in the occupational setting. Upon completion, participants should be able to aid in implementation of a radiation protection programs in an industrial or institutional setting.
Course Objectives
- Differentiating between ionizing and nonionizing radiation.
- Describing the different types of ionizing radiation.
- Describing the health effects of differing dose ranges of ionizing radiation.
- Performing basic dosage calculations for exposures to ionizing radiation.
- Demonstrating familiarity with different methods of evaluating radiation hazards.
- Implementing basic control measures for limiting exposure to ionizing radiation.
- Locating appropriate NRC and OSHA exposure limits.
- Demonstrating familiarity with regulations for the transport and disposal of low level radioactive waste.
Who Should Attend?
- Workers
- Process safety personnel
- Health and safety committee members
- Supervisors with safety and health responsibilities
- Facility personnel who are involved in implementing standards for safety instrumented systems
