Course Description

Industrial radiography provides a means of verifying the physical integrity of equipment and structures such as vessels, pipes, welded joints, castings and other devices. The structural integrity of such equipment and structures affects not only the safety and quality of the products but also the protection of workers, the public and the environment.This course provides delegates with all the necessary and up-to-date information about radiation protection and designed according to the requirements of IAEA & UAE FANR. This training has been established providing a reference to Radiation Protection Officer and organization staff dealing directly or indirectly with radioactive material.

Course Objectives

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:

  • ​Apply proper rules and regulations on radiation safety and describe the characteristics of ionizing radiation and radioactive decay mechanisms.
  • Identify the different types of radiation units & measurement terminology, biological effects of radiation exposure and use proper methods of minimizing radiation dose.
  • Determine and use the radiation measurement techniques and develop in-depth understanding on the design and safety assessment of radiation protection in the industry.
  • Discuss the types of industrial radiation sources and safety equipment including personnel monitoring equipment, radiation detection equipment, x-ray machines, radiography cameras, associated equipment, transport containers, inspection, maintenance equipment, etc.
  • Practice emergency planning procedures and appreciate personnel monitoring as well as contamination control and limits.
  • Implement ALARA program on maintaining exposures and recognize the dose limitations.
  • Enumerate workers and management responsibilities on safety protection from hazards and apply the general rules of safe handling of radioactive sources.
  • Describe the operational and environmental monitoring protection from radiation and determine the responsibilities of the regulators and other agencies as well as the purchasing, receipt & disposal of radiation sources.
  • Practice safe transport of radioactive materials and apply the control and safety aspects of radiation protection program for transport.
  • Implement the safety procedures for radioactive waste management demonstrate radiography emergency planning, incident response and mitigation.

Who Should Attend?

The course is designed for personnel who work in Industrial Radiography, Oil & Gas industry, Medical & Manufacturer sectors and require being Certified Radiation Protection Officers such as safety officers, engineers, inspectors and supervisors. Those already responsible for or planning to take charge of radiation protection and safe operation of radioactive materials, open and sealed sources, nuclear gauges, radiography cameras and other radiation devices in the workplace.

Assessment Methodology

All courses conducted by EdTech will begin with a Pre-evaluation and end with a Post-evaluation. The instructor will evaluate the knowledge and skills of the participants according to the feedback given by participants. This will help to recognize the benefits and the level of knowledge gained by participants through the course.

Training Methodology

Facilitated by a highly qualified specialist, who has extensive knowledge and experience; this program will be conducted using extensively interactive methods, encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply the program material to real-life work situations in order to stimulate group discussions and improve the efficiency of the subject coverage.

Percentages of the total course hour classification are:

  • ​40% Theoretical lectures, Concepts and approach
