Radiation Safety: Industrial Sources
Hazmat - Hazardous Materials
Training
Provided by Multi-media Access
"Radiation Safety for Industrial Sources" is designed to give the basic facts on radiation safety to workers in general industry. It is intended for users with sealed radiation sources enclosed within industrial devices. Workers in filling operations in which fill-checkers use radiation for detection of "filled or rejected" will find this program especially useful. Topics covered include basic radiation safety, radiation source handling and ALARA. Delivery formats include CD-ROM, LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet. The course can be customized to meet your site-specific needs. It is currently available in English, but other language tracks can be added.

Radiation Safety: Industrial Sources
Radiation sources are present in many industrial machines today. When properly understood and handled safely radiation is a high technology tool that helps make us more productive and helps protect us from other hazards. When radiation is not understood or not handled with the care and respect it deserves, it can pose a serious health hazard. This program asks the learner to express their opinion about radiation facts as well as common misconceptions about radiation. Through this Science Fact or Science Fiction challenge, your workers remain actively involved in the instruction. Twenty one interactions make certain that your workers stay attentive to the training and demonstrate their mastery of the course s key learning objectives.
