Radiation Worker Protection Course — Industrial Sector

Radiation in plain terms: what ionising radiation is, where it comes from in the workplace, and how alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation differ in what they can pass through.

Biological effects and the honest picture of risk: deterministic and stochastic effects, what a millisievert means in practice, and how occupational exposure compares with natural background.

The three controls that actually reduce dose — time, distance and shielding — worked through with real numbers from industrial radiography, nuclear gauges and well logging.

Classified areas, warning signs, barriers and the rule that no one crosses a boundary without checking the survey meter first.

Personal dosimetry: wearing the badge correctly, what TLD and OSL readings mean, investigation levels, and what happens when a reading comes back high.

Survey meters in the worker's hands: switching on, checking the battery and response, reading the scale, and knowing the reading at which work stops.

What to do when it goes wrong: a source that will not return to its shield, a dropped or missing source, a damaged package, suspected contamination — who to call, in what order, and what never to do.

Industrial radiography assistants and trainee technicians working under a licensed radiographer.

Nuclear gauge operators in construction, asphalt and materials laboratories.
