We currently offer several courses in radiation safety.

   
Radiation Safety training is offered for radiation workers in a general laboratory environment who have no background handling radiation sources. This is two unit course that provides classroom and laboratory activities. The course is offered in the fall and spring as Nuclear Science 121S (Nucs-121S), Chemistry 121S (Chem-121S) or Physics 121S (Phys-121S). The course is routinely scheduled on Friday afternoons from 1 pm to 3:20 pm. If you complete the course with a grade of "B" or better you receive certificate of training. The course provides at least 40 hours of training and instruction. 

Refresher training for radiation workers. This training is required for radiation workers every year  if they continue to work with radiation sources. This is a regulatory constraint. The training is coordinated through the Radiation Safety officer.

1st Responder Training. This training is being developed to provide instruction to individuals who are assigned the responsibility of responding to emergencies where radiation sources are involved.

Access to the Nuclear Science Facility. The facility is a secured location that is monitored 24/7. Anyone who needs access to the Nuclear Science facility on a regular basis must have basic instruction on safety and be shown where the hazards are located in the facility. Contact the Radiation Safety Officer for this training. After completing the training the Radiation Safety Officer will provide you with the access codes for the facility.
