Course Details: Our Radiation Safety Officer Course is designed to provide the technical and practical information needed to prepare a person to be an effective radiation safety officer. It will also be useful as general introductory training for anyone who works with radioactive materials or who may be required to be an alternate radiation safety officer.
Some prior knowledge of algebra and science is necessary to get the most benefit from the course. See what attendees say about our courses by clicking on: Attendee Evaluations. Registration Procedure: To register for any of these courses, we recommend using our online registration process to reduce errors and give you an immediate confirmation.
Links to the online registration can be found on the specific pages for each course. You may also register by phone or fax by contacting us.
Payment is not required at time of registration, although we prefer payment before the course begins. A registration form in PDF format is available here. Attendees should register for the course as early as possible. We recommend registration at least 60 days before the start date of the course to insure that you will get your first choice of dates and location.
However, we do not have a registration deadline, so even last minute registrations can sometimes be accepted. This may seem to be conflicting advice but the initial training for radiographers involves training specific to the use of radiography which our course does not have.
However the required training for Radiation Safety Officers in Industrial Radiography includes planning a radiation safety program and all the related details which are generally required of all radiation safety programs.
The requirements of the federal regulations for various types of Radiation Safety Officers can be seen on the website of the Health Physics Society. The actual federal regulations tend to be written in confusing language but the requirements as restated by the Health Physics Society are more clearly written while at the same time accurately presenting the federal regulations.
The usual state and NRC requirements for Troxler and other brands of gauge users is one day of training specific to that brand of gauge. Medical Radiation Safety Officers — The initial training requirements for medical radiation safety officers are much more extensive than any 40 hour course, so anyone wishing to become a medical RSO should carefully investigate the requirements of their regulatory agency. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has a rather complex set of requirements for medical Radiation Safety Officers and one way of meeting the requirements involves hours of classroom instruction.
Ultimately, your regulatory agency has the final word on approval of individuals to become Radiation Safety Officers. The usual procedure is that the organization holding the license must submit the name and qualifications of an incoming RSO for approval by the regulatory agency having authority in that state. This will either be a state agency or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. A clear explanation of federal requirements can be found at the link to the Health Physics Society.
Keep in mind that many states have their own regulations which may vary slightly from the federal regulations. If your state has its own regulations then you will be required to follow state law rather than federal law. In general though, the state requirements will be almost identical to federal requirements.
It is also important to note that the federal government and most states do not review, approve or evaluate radiation safety courses. However, the state of New Mexico does have a approved list and our course has been approved by the State of New Mexico. We offer 10 distinct courses with multiple classes throughout the year. We also offer onsite courses and audits to fit the customers needs.
In addition to our courses on radiation safety, we also sell a wide variety of training aids on other safety topics. We sell videos, posters, booklets software to assist with your training program. We have offered this training for over 20 years to qualify you as a Radiation Safety Officer.
We provide the technical information and practical experience to ensure that you are well prepared to serve as an RSO. Instructors specialize in training for research, biomedical, and educational programs, as well as for programs using sealed sources in irradiators, measurement devices, and gauges. During the week, students must complete 32 hours of instruction in the following required subjects: radiation fundamentals, health risks, regulations, licensing, enforcement, dosimetry, instruments, statistics, quality assurance, DOT shipment and receipt of radioactive materials, program management, record keeping, emergency response, and preparing for inspections.
