The following is a list of training provided by OLS.  The description to the right indicates who must take the training.

• Initial Radiation Safety Training – This training is required for anyone before they can use radioactive material.  An exam will be given at completion. Training is given every Tuesday at 10:00 (if this time is not possible, we can make arrangements)

• Radiation Awareness Training – This training applies to all who are not users but who, in the course of their job, may encounter sources of radiation.    Examples of those covered include housekeeping, campus police and some lab workers  Ask your supervisor or call OLS for more information.  Non-users who work in a radiation lab must get the training from their AU.  The non-user awareness handout is used for the training.
