Standard Guide for Radiological Protection Training for Nuclear Facility Workers

Importancia y uso:

4.1 The purpose of this guide is to define the elements of a radiological protection training program that will enable a radiation worker, upon completion of training, to achieve the following:

4.1.1 Understand the relative health and safety risks associated with the types and levels of radiation that may be encountered during the work assignment in radiologically controlled areas,

4.1.2 Complete the forms and records necessary to be permitted to function as a radiation worker,

4.1.3 Practice the necessary monitoring and contamination control techniques to minimize exposure to radiation or radioactive materials, or both, and

4.1.4 Practice work habits that will minimize the impact of radiation or radioactive materials, or both, upon the workplace and surrounding environments.

4.2 The standardization of radiation worker radiological protection training provides the individual radiation worker with a greater assurance that the training received is adequate to minimize radiation exposure, to enable the worker to work safely in a radiologically controlled area, and to meet applicable regulations.

4.3 The standardization of radiation worker radiological protection training prevents unnecessary retraining of radiation workers.

4.4 This guide should be used as the basis for establishing a radiological protection training program for radiation workers at nuclear facilities.
