This standard is intended to be used by personnel who develop,
\nrevise, implement, or provide oversight of radiation safety
\ntraining for the individuals described below. It does not apply to
\nradiation safety specialists, professionals, or technicians who are
\ncovered by other existing regulations or standards.<\/p>\n

\nThis standard shall apply to radiological workers who receive in
\none year an occupational effective dose equivalent in excess of 100
\nmrem (1 mSv). Additionally, this standard shall apply to workers
\nwhose dose would likely exceed the values specified above if they
\nhave not had the proper training ("likely to receive" is considered
\nto include normal and abnormal situations; it does not include
\naccidents or emergencies).<\/p>\n
\nshould apply to radiological workers who in one year are not likely
\nto receive an occupational effective dose equivalent in excess of
\n100 mrem (1 mSv). (NOTE: The Training Program for these workers may
\nbe less formal.)<\/p>\n
\nstandard may apply to clerks, secretaries, janitors, nurses, and
\nother workers who do not routinely work with or in the proximity of
\nradiationgenerating devices or radioactive materials, but whose
\nduties occasionally may require them to enter areas where an
\noccupational dose is possible. These workers, as a minimum, should
\nreceive radiation safety training that familiarizes them with
\nradiation sources, radiation warning signs and alarms, risks in
\nperspective to potential dose, and the appropriate methods for
\nminimizing radiation dose.<\/p>\n
\nSupervisory<\/strong> Personnel<\/strong> – In some
\ncases, managers, staff members, technical support personnel, and
\nsupervisors are classified as radiological workers and should
\ncomplete, as a minimum, radiation safety training. Supervisors
\nshould receive, as a minimum, the same level of training as the
\nworkers they supervise in order to assess their performance.<\/p>\n
\nWorkers<\/strong> Persons such as contractors, laborers,
\nmaintenance workers, craftsmen, technicians, security personnel,
\netc. who work in facilities for only a short time (e.g., less than
\none month), may perform tasks involving significant radiological
\nrisks. These workers shall receive training commensurate with the
\nrisks identified for the job similar to the training provided to
\nregular workers. (NOTE: A review of a contract worker's prior
\ntraining records may be helpful in determining training needs. On
\nthe other hand, continuous and direct supervision of these workers
\nby a qualified escort should permit a reduction in training
\nrequirements.)<\/p>\n
\nan occupational dose is possible shall be provided the same
\ntraining as regular, full-time employees working under similar
\nconditions.<\/p>\n
\npolice, security, and medical personnel may be regular employees,
\ncontractor personnel, or visitors from a nearby location. These
\nindividuals shall receive sufficient radiation safety training to
\npermit informed judgments in emergency situations. Training for
\nemergency response personnel should be developed based on an
\nanalysis of the tasks involved, as described in Section 7.2.2
\n(Analysis Phase).<\/p>\n
\nvisitors whose cumulative effective dose equivalent during a visit,
\nor from anticipated and subsequent visits in the current year, may
\nbe greater than 100 mrem (1 mSv). This standard may apply to
\nvisitors whose dose is expected to be less than the value stated
\nabove but who could potentially receive a measurable dose from
\nionizing radiation. These individuals (as a minimum) should receive
\nradiation safety training that familiarizes them with radiation
\nsources, radiation warning signs and alarms, risks in perspective
\nto potential dose, and appropriate methods of minimizing radiation
\ndose.<\/p>\n
\nare not expected to receive any significant dose from ionizing
\nradiation during the visit do not need the training covered in
\nSection 1.2.6. However, they should be under the supervision of a
\nqualified escort at all times while in areas controlled for
\nradiological safety purposes. Additionally, visitors should be
\ninstructed about their responsibilities while under escort.<\/p>\n
\nand implementing radiation safety training. It does not address
\ntraining for nonradiological hazards. For the purpose of this
\ndocument, the term "radiation" refers to ionizing radiation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\n
