in a hospital, laboratory or licensed facility that handles radioactive materials
in a nuclear facility.
This unit covers the competencies required to develop and implement a radiation management plan to ensure the protection of workers, public and the environment, including emergency response. It includes ensuring adequate provision of training for all personnel and developing and sustaining a radiation safety culture to ensure that legislative and organisational requirements are met.
