Training Courses

This course provides comprehensive training for industrial, medical and research/biotechnology personnel. The course uses a "nuts and bolts" approach to radiation safety, so each attendee receives information pertinent to them. All persons attend "core" lectures, and then the class is split into separate groups for industrial, medical and research/biotechnology users. Each group receives specific instruction as well as hands-on use of meters, etc. for meeting specific needs and regulatory requirements.

DATES AND LOCATIONS

Please note: The April 20th training course is offered as a 5 day and 3 day course.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

People in industry (fixed or portable gauges), hospitals and academic/research facilities who are responsible for radiation safety or need to understand the principles of radiation safety. Excellent course for the newly appointed RSO. This seminar meets regulatory requirements for RSO training for fixed gauge users, or serves as an excellent introduction to new radiation workers. This course is also a great refresher to keep abreast of the everchanging field of radiation protection.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIVE DAY AND THREE DAY COURSE?

The five day course will go into more detail in each presentation. Additionally, there is more hands-on training as a laboratory section is included (covering performing and analyzing a leak test, calibrating, emergencies and instrumentation for example). Some licensees and states will require a five day course (particularly on the medical side) or if you are in an industrial setting and you want the ability to do non-routine maintenance (installing, relocating and higher levels of repairs) a five day course is almost always required.
