RADIATION SAFETY TRAINING
Purpose:
In order to meet the requirements of the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health Radiation Control Program (MRCP) material license all new students,
staff and faculty who wish to use radioactive material (RAM) must have
appropriate safety training.
Program Content:
Radiation safety training consists of two parts. First, the new user contacts
Environmental Health & Safety EH&S for initial hazard awareness
training. This initial training consists of audio visual materials or
group lecture as appropriate. This training covers general radiation safety,
RAM use, x-ray analytical equipment use, and laser use. The second part
of the training consists of hands on training in the lab under the direction
of an experienced RAM user. This training is the most important. This
hands on training is followed-up by visits from the radiation safety staff
to insure that users have a complete understanding of their role in the
safe use of RAM.
Program Scheduling:
Initial hazard awareness training for researchers will be held at least
once a month. Please ask your students/techs to bring a notepad to write
with. There will be an exam following the training.
