Introduction
The Radiation Protection Officer course is designed to provide the technical and practical information needed to prepare a person to be an effective radiation protection officer. It will also be useful as general introductory training for anyone who works with radioactive materials or who may be required to be an alternate radiation safety officer. And to meet the requirements of the accreditation body and is so structured to meet the national requirements and recommendations and is ideal for all radiography examination routs which may contain basic radiation safety content such as ASNT, NAS410 and BGAS-CSWIP
Learning Objectives
This course will aim to give a complete overview of Health and safety in your site, and what to do in the case that an emergency breaks out. Following the implementation of an OH&S management system, effective auditing of business processes and practices helps to identify areas of conformity as well as areas requiring improvement. Delegates will develop effective auditing skills and knowledge of current best practice to aid continual improvement through focussed OH&S audits.
At the end trainees will be able to:
- To understand the basic radiation physics and its characteristics, discussion more about radiation including absorption and scattering, photoelectric effects, Compton scattering, HVL and particulate radiation
- Use proper radiographic and radiation monitoring equipment such as X-ray, gamma-ray and etc.
- Identify radiation protection and radiation materials
- Recognize the legislative structure and radiation regulation for radiation safety
Target Audience
- Course is intended to all the people who directly in the vicinity of ionizing radiation sources
- Radiation safety officers in testing laboratories, academic laboratories oil industries and medical organisations
- Any Radiation personal or employees working in or frequenting any position of a restricted radiation area.
- HSE Manager / Supervisor/ Officers
- Radiologist, Medical Physicist, Lecturer and Researcher
Training Methodology
The programme will be theory interactive. There will be work in groups and pairs as well as individual exercises and everyone will get an opportunity to discuss their issues with Safety. Each day will end with time to produce an action plan for delegates continuing development.
