Welcome to the IAEA Occupational Radiation Protection (ORP) e-learning page

The ORP e-learning courses harness interactive technologies and communication systems to assist Member States in building their capacity in the field of radiation protection of workers.

They provide guidance on how to:

  • Protect against occupational exposure to radiation in general;
  • Assess occupational exposure (internal and external);
  • Control exposure due to natural sources at work;
  • Protect emergency workers from radiation exposure;
  • Monitor the health of persons exposed to ionizing radiation at work.

All recommendations are in line with the IAEA’s programme on occupational radiation protection, which promotes an internationally harmonized approach to the issue and develops safety standards and guidelines to reduce radiation exposure in the workplace. 

Our online training system has been customized using the latest digital technologies to ensure we give you the best learning experience possible. It works best on modern devices and up-to-date browsers and all courses offer a certification upon successful completion. 

For more information, please visit our Occupational Radiation Protection Networks (ORPNET) website. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Occupational-Protection-Unit.Contact-Point@iaea.org
