INTRODUCTION

To ensure the safe use of ionizing radiation for employees engaged in performing diagnostic industrial radiography using gamma-ray projectors and/or X-ray machines. This course is designed for those with little or no knowledge of radiation, to handle radioactive materials and/or irradiating apparatus safely at work.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Course participants will acquire knowledge to exercise safe handling of radioactive materials and/or irradiating apparatus when they perform radiation work.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Radioactivity, properties of gamma and other particulate emissions
• Quantities and units: radioactivity, half-life, dose and dose rate, energy
• Production of x-rays: atomic and bremsstrahlung
• Interaction of radiation with matter, ionization, Compton Scattering.
• Biological effects of radiation
• Shielding calculations, calculate dose from dose-rate, inverse square law
• Radiation instruments for detection and measurement  – personal dosimeter, survey meters, area monitors
• Practical aspects of NDT Radiography – types of gamma and x-radiography equipment, walled enclosures, site radiography.
• Dose limits, personal monitoring, responsibilities of the licensee
• Labeling of radiation areas and radiation sources, storage of radioactive sources, source movement records, transportation of sources, safety and security of sources.
• Accidents. Possible accident scenarios, SOP, Emergency Procedures. Contingency plans, Accident reporting

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Industrial Radiographers who are using, and transporting radioactive sources, gamma-ray projectors or x-ray machines for the purpose of performing industrial radiography.

EXAMINATION

Arrangement will be made for participants to take a test after course completion.

ACCREDITATION

This course is accredited under the Registered Safety Officer's Continuing Professional Development Programme. Participants will gain 15 SDUs upon completion of the course. Course participants must complete this course with at least 75% attendance rate.
