Occupational Radiation Protection based on General Safety Guide No. GSG-7
|
The purpose of this course is to increase understanding of the occupational exposure control requirements contained in GSR Part 3 and how these safety standards fit within the IAEA Safety Standards hierarchy. Participants will learn how to fulfil the requirements of GSR Part 3 with respect to occupational exposure and GSG-7 recommendations relating to planned, existing and emergency exposure situations for occupational exposure. The course contains 10 modules and covers:
This e-learning course was funded under the IAEA Regional Technical-Co-operation Project on Enhancing National Capabilities on Occupational Radiation Protection in Compliance with Requirements of the International Basic Safety Standards (RAS/9/080). |
Occupational Radiation Protection Appraisal Service (ORPAS)
Occupational Radiation Protection Appraisal Service (ORPAS) is a peer review service provided by the IAEA, the objective of ORAPS is to enhance national arrangements for radiation protection of workers in Member States.
The ORPAS Guideline was published in 2020 based on the IAEA |Safety Standards as well as the lessons learned from past missions and on contributions and comments provided by Member States. A training package was developed based on the ORPAS Guideline. The e-learning on ORPAS is developed by using the training package on the topic.
The purpose of the e-learning is to provide ORPAS reviewers and stakeholders a training on ORPAS including introduction, procedures, report drafting and necessary knowledge to conduct an ORPAS mission.
Management and Control of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM)
|
Natural resources that are extracted from the ground such as coal, oil, natural gas and other mineral ores contain various amounts of natural radioactivity. When these resources are extracted and processed, their natural state can be modified which may result in the enhancement of the natural radioactivity content originally present. Such enhancements may be observed in the residues or the waste created and/or in the products or by-products and are sometimes high enough to pose a risk to workers, members of public and the environment if they are not controlled properly. Materials of this kind are commonly referred to as Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material or NORM. The International Basic Safety Standards (GSR Part 3) establishes requirements for industrial activities involving NORM. For the application of the IAEA Safety requirements on NORM activities, consideration needs to be given to radiation protection of workers, the public and the environment for a wide range of industrial activities on a global basis. This e-learning course provides guidance based on GSG-7 on fulfilling the requirements of GSR Part 3 with respect to worker protection in industrial processes/operations involving NORM. The course includes 15 modules and covers:

Before taking this course, participants are advised to complete the training on Occupational Radiation Protection based on General Safety Guide No. GSG-7. |
Radiation Protection Training Course for Occupationally Exposed Workers
The Radiation Protection Training Course for Occupationally Exposed Workers was developed by the IAEA as a training tool for exposed workers in the Member States. The course covers from the most basic concepts of ionizing radiation to the concepts of radiological protection, monitoring, and control of internal and external exposures.
The course contains 5 modules:
Module 1: Radiation Basics, exposure, and dose.
Module 2: Radiation Health effects, safety principles and standards.
Module 3: Radiation protection for external exposures
Module 4: Radiation protection for internal exposures.
Module 5: Contamination control and PPE
Each module includes a short quiz (10 questions). A passing score of 70% is required to successfully complete each module. After finishing five modules, a Certificate of Completion can be downloaded.
