Course Summary
In the oil and gas industry, medical facilities, laboratories and manufacturing companies, it’s essential to understand and maintain health and safety processes and procedures when it comes to ionising and non-ionising radiation materials. This can help your employees stay safe and productive in the workplace and also contribute to environmental factors.
To run a business successfully with radiation materials, you’ll need to consider proper safety clothing, equipment and disposal procedures. You’ll also need to think about risks and contingency planning and a place to store dangerous substances and items when not in use.
To ensure you have a failsafe way of working with harmful materials, you will need to think about every part of your process roadmap, from administration and procurement, right down to meeting the needs of your regulatory body and safe disposal.
- To understand the different properties of ionising and non-ionising radiation.
- To handle materials affected by radiation.
- To develop key processes and procedures to keep your employees safe around dangerous materials.
- To conduct risk assessments and make changes to avoid and reduce risks.
- To understand the potential biological effects of radiation exposure.
- To find safe storage areas for radioactive materials.
- To act in the correct way in the event of an emergency.
- To assess proper safety equipment to ensure each task is conducted correctly.
- To develop sound contingency plans to keep your business viable if an issue does occur.
- To manage and develop employees around your key goals to guarantee safety and security at all times.
This course was designed for anyone who works within an environment that regularly deals with radioactive materials and anyone designed to create a process map to understand the risks in these areas. It would be most beneficial for:
- RPOs (Radiation Protection Officers).
- HazMat Managers
- HSE Managers
- Radiologists
- Laboratory Personnel
- Procurement Managers in Radioactive Materials
- Engineers
- Supply Chain Managers
- Transportation Personnel
This course is presented using a variety of adult learning methods to aid understanding and comprehension. Participants will watch presentations and videos based on what happens during a radiation incident and take part in practical discussions to uncover risk areas. Demonstrations and role-playing practical activities will also help participants to understand the correct procedures during an incident and how to mitigate further risks.
