Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to safely monitor radiation and the exposure of people and environment during radiation-related work activities. This involves identifying information about the work activities to be monitored, using the specified monitoring equipment, and applying safe working rules and monitoring procedures to obtain reliable results.This unit applies to those working in radiation-related work activities, including:extracting, milling, processing and packing radioactive oresoperating, installing, servicing and calibrating fixed radiation gauges, bore hole logging or industrial radiography equipment, and moisture and density gaugesdecontaminating and servicing equipment that has been in contact with radioactive materialXRF and XRD analysiscollecting, preparing and testing samples containing radioactive materialsusing radionuclides in a laboratoryThe activities may take place:at a mine or plant that processes radioactive ore and mineralswith instruments that emit ionising radiation at geotechnical, construction, mining and manufacturing sites, or analytical and research facilitiesin a laboratory or licensed facility that handles radioactive materialsin a nuclear facility.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would be authorised by the responsible person to perform routine tasks in familiar contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | ||
