Course Outline

Target Audience:

Level 2 Exposed Workers involved in activities characterized by higher radiological risks, with a further specialization as: (EW-2A), for the Medical Sector and (EW-2B), for all other Sectors

Program Overview:

Level 2 Exposed Workers who are potentially exposed to higher annual doses and may be potentially subject to internal exposures. Typically, workers operating in a nuclear medicine department, or an isotope production facility, or operating unsealed radiation sources will fall into this category. Training in contamination control and on internal exposure prevention is be present in this category. CT scan, radioactive waste management, radiochemistry operators may fall into this category as required by client.

Program Outline

At the end of the 4-hour Training Program, the learner will be able to: Discharge duties in the Organization, in presence of ionizing radiation sources.

1- Work safely in presence of ionizing radiation

• Safely execute work activities in the presence of ionizing radiation
• Identify and use protective measures (time, distance, shielding) to keep external exposure risks as low as reasonably achievable
• Identify and use protective measures to keep internal exposure risks as low as reasonably achievable
• Collaborate with others, to maintain a safe and controlled radiation work environment
• Apply work policies, procedures, and instructions related to Radiation Protection
• Wear appropriate dosimeters while working in presence of ionizing radiation

2. Use protective equipment against ionizing radiation

• Use protective equipment against ionizing radiation
• Wear personal protective equipment, when instructed to, according to approved Organization’s instructions
• Remove personal protective equipment, according to approved Organization’s instructions
• Collaborate with others to safely dispose of radioactive materials, including dubious materials
• Collaborate in identifying and declaring situations which can compromise the Radiation Protection of Workers in the Organization

3. Operate safely radiation sources

• Operate safely radiation machines according to Organization’s instructions and procedures
• Operate safely radioactive sources, ensuring to minimize the risk of dispersion of radioactivity
