If you work with sealed sources of radioactive material you can attend the Radiation Protection Training Class. A sealed source is permanently bonded or fixed in a matrix that will not allow the release or dispersal of the radioactive material. The class is tailored to the specific needs of the researcher regarding the type and activity of sealed source in use. Individuals using these types of sources are required to attend a training class. The class is conducted at our offices and lasts from 1-2 hours.
Individuals can call to schedule a time to attend.
Transportation of radioactive materials must meed the requirements of the DOT, one of which is required training for individuals who package and transport hazardous materials such as radioactive sources. This class provides the employee who needs to take their sources on their person, such as in a car or plane, to other locations, the appropriate training in areas such as shipping certifications, labeling, and emergency response. The class lasts between 1 and 2 hours and is offered as needed at our office. This training is required for individuals who transport isotopes in this fashion. In the coming year our office will offer a Laser Safety Training Class .
