The 8-hour Radiation Worker Training Course provides essential knowledge and practical skills for individuals who work with, or in close proximity to, ionizing radiation sources. The course is designed to meet regulatory requirements for radiation worker instruction under 10 CFR 19.12 and state equivalents, ensuring workers understand radiation fundamentals, exposure risks, ALARA principles, area controls, emergency procedures, and safe operating practices.
Participants will learn how radiation interacts with matter, how to monitor and control exposures, how to interpret postings and labels, and how to respond to abnormal conditions. Practical demonstrations and scenario-based activities reinforce safe work habits and empower workers to maintain compliance while protecting themselves, coworkers, and the public.
This 8-Hour Radiation Worker Course is appropriate for laboratory staff, industrial workers, radiographers, technologists, maintenance personnel, security staff, and any employee assigned unescorted access to radiologically controlled areas.
