COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout surface contamination and dose rate measurements and surveys. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using our state-of-the-art equipment.
This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of radiation protection safety. It will help the participants to apply proper rules and regulations on radiation safety and describe the characteristics of ionizing radiation and radioactive decay mechanisms; identify the different types of radiation units & measurement terminology, biological effects of radiation exposure and use proper methods of minimizing radiation dose; use the radiation measurement techniques and illustrate the design and safety assessment of radiation protection in the industry.
The course will discuss the types of industrial radiation sources and safety equipment including personnel monitoring equipment, radiation detection equipment, x-ray machines, radiography cameras, associated equipment, transport containers, inspection, maintenance equipment, etc.
Course participants will practice emergency planning procedures and perform personnel monitoring as well as contamination control and limits; recognize ALARA program on maintaining exposures and dose limitations; distinguish workers and management responsibilities on safety protection from hazards and apply the general rules of safe handling of radioactive sources; describe the operational and environmental monitoring protection from radiation and identify the responsibilities of the regulators and other agencies as well as the purchasing, receipt & disposal of radiation sources; practice safe transport of radioactive materials and apply the control and safety aspects of radiation protection program for transport; and follow safety procedures for radioactive waste management and demonstrate radiography emergency planning, incident response and mitigation.
