Radiation safety training should match the work being performed. A generic course is not always enough; organisations should identify the hazards, responsibilities and competencies associated with their specific radiation practice.
Who may need training?
- Radiation Protection Officers
- Radiation Safety Officers
- Radiographers and imaging staff
- Nuclear medicine personnel
- Industrial radiography teams
- Medical physicists and technical staff
- Managers responsible for radiation activities
Core training subjects
Depending on the practice, training may cover radiation fundamentals, ALARA, monitoring, dosimetry, shielding, local rules, incident response, documentation and regulatory responsibilities.
Competency should be maintained
Training should not be treated as a one-time event. Refresher sessions, workplace observations, drills and review of incidents can help maintain competence.
