THIS  TRAINING COURSE IS IDEAL FOR:

  • Individuals whose job requires the supervision of gauge installations, maintenance or service, initial radiation surveys, relocations or removal from service and transportation of any fixed devices containing sealed sources.
  • Individuals desiring to be qualified as a Radiation Safety Officer of fixed industrial gauges.
