Course Description

Radiation Protection Supervisor: Security Cabinet Operator

Are you involved in environments where X-rays security cabinets are used? This comprehensive course is designed to equip you with the confidence to be a Radiation Protection Supervisor for operating an X-ray security cabinet and give you sufficient knowledge to protect yourself and others from X-ray radiation.

Discover X-ray Hazards

Embark on a journey to understand the fundamental principles behind X-ray formation. We’ll break down the science, revealing the potential hazards associated with X-ray radiation and the various ways it can cause harm. Crucially, you’ll learn to apply the required protective measures.

Gain confidence in discussing X-ray radiation protection

On this course you’ll learn key terminology and understand the properties and characteristics of X-rays and radiation protection. This knowledge will empower you to communicate effectively about radiation safety and foster a strong radiation safety culture in your workplace.

Strengthen X-ray radiation safe working practices.

The course also explores the responsibilities, procedures, and practical considerations associated with working with X-ray security cabinets.

By developing safe working principles and established practical procedures, you’ll be better prepared to operate confidently with X-ray security cabinets.

Lastly, at the end of the course, you’ll have developed a stronger understanding of X-ray hazards and the principles that support safe and responsible working practices.

Learn from the Nation’s Leading Experts

Benefit directly from the expertise of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) Radiation Protection Advisors. We’ll guide you through the crucial legislation, guidance, and legal requirements that govern X-ray radiation protection. You’ll also discover how to implement effective engineering and procedural controls to ensure exposure levels remain as low as reasonably practicable.

By the end of this course, you’ll be empowered to confidently supervise X-ray work safely and have the knowledge needed to protect yourself and others from X-rays.
