Radiographic Inspection
The Radiation Safety Officer job can be difficult, especially for the industrial radiographer who is moving up to management. We know. I took a Radiation Safety Officer position in 1992 and was left in the dark about what to do and how to do it. There were learning curves to be sure.
Being an effective Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) means becoming and remaining organized, knowing the regulations, coaching to change behavior, and having a good program of consistent reinforcement of the expectations and rules for every radiation worker. You should have the opportunity to accomplish these goals on day one; we’ll give you that opportunity by example.
Someday, something or someone may go wrong. You need the knowledge to effectively handle the situation to limit the consequences of the incident to all those affected. Whether it’s poor audit results or an equipment failure that leads to a source recovery, ensure you have the tools to calmly and completely rectify the event to limit dose and repercussion. We teach these tools so that you are fully prepared to step into your role as a new or seasoned RSO.
Subjects Covered:
The source recovery portion may be taken as a stand-alone course. Please contact us for more details.
