Radiation: Industrial Radiation Safety

This radiation safety training course uses action video to teach workers about radiation hazards. In this course you will learn about the various sources of radiation, safe and unsafe exposures to radiation, proper procedures for emergency situations, and understand the importance of checking for radiation leaks. In radiation safety training, you will learn about the four factors controlling radiation exposure. You will learn how distance reduces exposure and be able to identify situations which require notification of the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). You can use this radiation safety training course to help comply with the ALARA standard.
