Course Description About This Course
The radiation protection training afforded by this course is designed to ensure that users of ionizing radiation, both x-rays and radioactive materials, have the knowledge and skill to work efficiently and effectively in a radiation environment with a minimum of radiation exposure to themselves and other workers. The formal classroom training supplements the education and experience technical personnel have received and amplify any on-the-job training they have received.

This course provides special multidisciplinary review of radiation health and safety. Additionally, this course provides guidance and advice regarding ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and radioactive materials.


Who Should Attend
All scientists, program managers, homeland security policy makers, and people responsible for preparing and implementing plans for of radiation protection.

Key Topics You'll Learn About
  • Operational Radiation Protection
  • Radiation Dosimetry
  • Radiation Measurement Techniques
  • Design and Safety Assessment
  • Research (radiobiology, epidemiology, measurement techniques)
  • Emergency Planning
  • The control and safety aspects of radioactive waste management
  • The safe transport of radioactive materials
  • Environmental monitoring and protection
How You'll Benefit from This Course
  • Consult with leading experts in the field of radiation protection
  • Understand the fundamental principle and characteristics of radiation
  • Learn how to minimize exposure and maximize productivity in a radiation work environment
  • Obtain valuable radiological planning & management tools for the rad worker
