Embarking on this course offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of radiation safety, particularly tailored for those working in the medical radiation environment. It delves into the crucial aspects of basic radiation protection and safety, focusing on the application of ionising radiation regulations and the management of ionising radiations.

Participants will acquire essential knowledge on non-ionising radiation, radioactive materials, and the diverse sources of radiation, underpinning the importance of maintaining a safe work environment for radiation workers and patients alike.

The curriculum is meticulously designed to address the radiation risks involved in medical imaging and how to mitigate them through effective use of personal protective equipment (PPE), adherence to radiation protection principles, and compliance with safety signs. Furthermore, it guides learners on the responsibilities of a radiation protection supervisor, emphasising the significance of ionising radiation regulations in safeguarding health.

By the end of this course, attendees will be well-equipped with the skills for reporting concerns about radiation safety and implementing the organisation’s radiation management plan, ensuring they can work safely in medical radiation environments.
