DOE Radiological Worker Training

RWT-I & RWT-II, 2-day courses, US$ 795

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) requires DOE staff and contractors to receive radiation safety training, commensurate with the level of potential occupational radiological hazards. These courses are offered quarterly and are conducted concurrently. Students would take the course that is appropriate to their facility requirements.

Rad Worker I provides appropriate training for individuals who work with radioactive material or radiation producing devices that do not produce high radiation fields. Students will learn to work safely in areas containing radioactive materials, utilize radiation work permits, and demonstrate radiation monitoring practices. Successful course completion also includes passing a written examination.

Rad Worker II includes all of the training for Rad Worker I plus additional training appropriate for individuals who might enter high radiation or contaminated areas or who may work with unsealed quantities of radioactive materials. This class will include exercises for donning and removing protective clothing and performing radiation frisking.

Participants will receive the DOE Radiological Worker Training Manual and a course certificate. The primary instructors are Ray Johnson, CHP, PE, RSO. Dr. Alan Fellman, CHP, and Sean Austin, CHP.
