Radiographic Inspection
To begin your career in Radiography, you’ll be required to take and pass an Industrial Radiation Safety course. There are currently 40 jurisdictions in the United States that have varying regulatory requirements for Industrial Radiation Safety, some require this course prior to beginning your radiography career, some before you take a nationally recognized Radiographer certification examination. We think that it’s always better to get the training prior to starting the work.
In this course, you’ll learn how to safely use the high energy radiations that we use to produce radiographs. Not only does industrial radiography use high energy sources (loads of penetration so that we can radiograph thick or dense materials), but we use a lot of these photons with each source. Because of the quantity and energy of our sources, we must always be diligent in safety practices. ND3 has been teaching this course since 1992 with thousands of successful students who go on to have careers without incident.
Having a career without incident means that you have learned the safe practices of working safely with X- or Gamma rays and have at the forefront of your awareness our prime objective when it comes to radiation: Always protect yourself, your co-workers, and the public from the effects of ionizing radiation. You’ll learn the best practices for safety and the regulatory requirements to help you achieve that goal every day.
