Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit was developed for Defence workers involved in applying ionising radiation safety procedures as a workplace responsibility, but is applicable to all individuals who work in this field.
Typically, these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work independently or as part of a team under indirect supervision. They must be able to use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.
All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant legislation, organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to apply appropriate safety procedures or plans related to the control or mitigation of ionising radiation.
In the context of this unit, ionsing radiation may include emissions from radioactive elements, controlled apparatus, sealed and unsealed sources.
The unit includes researching, consulting and applying procedures within an organisation that have been specifically developed for the organisation.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
