Brisbane Course Dates
Please NOTE: NSW EPA has advised that only "in person" training will be accepted in relation to S30 "Soil Moisture and Density Gauges" license applications. Our "Distance Mode" option is not "in person" and is therefore not suitable for participants seeking an S30 license from NSW EPA.
Designed to meet the requirements of various state regulators (including Queensland Radiation Health, NSW EPA, etc for anyone seeking a "license to use"). These courses are delivered concurrently.
Includes:
- Radiation Safety for Laboratories
- Radiation Safety for X-rays
- Radiation Safety for Neutron Moisture Gauges and Industrial Gauges
- Radiation Safety for X-ray Install, maintain, repair and commission
Radiation Safety for Laboratories
Accreditation
This learning program is a Queensland Radiation Health approved course number ED103.
Duration
One Day. COVID-19 Distance mode has replaced classroom delivery with email/telephone/facetime contact and ongoing mentoring and feedback on submitted evidence.
Objective
This learning program is designed to meet the criteria for a "Use" license under the Queensland Radiation Safety Act 1999 for laboratory workers. The course covers radiation safety issues related to typical techniques, isotopes and quantities (activities) found in biology, biochemistry, pathology, genetics and radio pharmacy laboratories.
The learning program is practical in nature; participants will be involved in a number of small group workshops and discussions centred on concepts and problems useful to radiation laboratory workers. Topics include:
- Basics of radiation physics
- Units
- Biological effects and measuring risk
- Identification and control of internal and external hazards
- Laboratory, work area and task design
- Selection and use of radiation instruments
- Contamination control and decontamination
Assessment for the course is competency based. The assessment instrument is a multiple choice and short answer open book exam of approximately 20 minutes duration. All questions must be answered correctly to achieve competency.
Delivery
Class room based delivery at our venue, or delivered specifically for clients at their venue and contextualised to the client’s specific systems.

Radiation Safety for X-rays
Accreditation
This learning program is a Queensland Radiation Health approved course number ED102.
Duration
One Day. COVID-19 Distance mode has replaced classroom delivery with email/telephone/facetime contact and ongoing mentoring and feedback on submitted evidence.
Objective
This learning is designed to meet the criteria for a "Use" license under the Queensland Radiation Safety Act 1999 for users of Xray equipment (including XRD and XRF). The course covers radiation safety issues related to typical techniques, tube types, voltages and currents found in industrial, medical and security settings.
The course is very practical in nature; participants will be involved in a number of small group workshops and discussions centred on concepts and problems useful to radiation protection around X-ray equipment. Topics include:
- Basics of radiation physics
- Units
- Biological effects and measuring risk
- Identification and control of external hazards
- Work area and task design
- Selection and use of radiation instruments
Assessment for the course requires the participant to develop a safety checklist based on a relevant national or state radiation safety standard. Follow-up discussion will be conducted with participants who have difficulty with the assessment.

Radiation Safety for Neutron Moisture Gauges and Industrial Gauges
Accreditation
This learning program is a Queensland Radiation Health approved course number ED101 and is approved by NSW EPA for application for an S30 license.
PLEASE NOTE: NSW EPA has advised that training for S30 license applications must be "in person". This course is "in person"
Duration
One Day. COVID-19 Distance mode has replaced classroom delivery with email/telephone/facetime contact and ongoing mentoring and feedback on submitted evidence.
Objectives
To develop or enhance the skills and knowledge required for the following:
- users of neutron moisture gauges
- workers and maintenance staff who work in an environment where Industrial Radiation Gauges are used
The training explains the risks related to radiation exposure, discussions of the most likely accidents involving the sources, the design safety features of the sources used in the workplace and the related basic operational safety systems used in the workplace.
Delivery

Radiation Safety for X-ray Install, maintain, repair and commission
Accreditation
This learning program is a Queensland Radiation Health approved course number ED209.
Duration
One Day. COVID-19 Distance mode has replaced classroom delivery with email/telephone/facetime contact and ongoing mentoring and feedback on submitted evidence.
Objective
This learning is designed to meet the criteria for a "Use" license under the Queensland Radiation Safety Act 1999 for installers, maintainers, repairers and commissioners of Xray equipment (including XRD, XRF, inspection, medical and dental). The course covers radiation safety issues related to typical techniques, tube types, voltages and currents found in industrial, medical and security settings.
