This Radiation Safety training course will develop the ability to critically assess exposure risks associated with the use, storage, and disposal of radiation materials, at all stages of administrative, operational and laboratory activities. This course will include the various types and harmful properties of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, the importance and how to effectively carry out radiation exposure assessments, understanding key radiation safety management and protection principles, the biological effects of radiation exposure to the human body. The entire course topics will also cover compliance with the international and national regulatory bodies’ requirements.
