This course aim to give a complete overview of Health and safety in your site, and what to do in the case that an emergency breaks out. Following the implementation of an OH&S management system, effective auditing of business processes and practices helps to identify areas of conformity as well as areas requiring improvement. Delegates will develop effective auditing skills and knowledge of current best practice to aid continual improvement through focused OH&S audits.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• To understand the basic  radiation physics  and its  characteristics, discussion more about  radiation including  absorption  and scattering, photoelectric effects, Compton scattering, HVL, and particulate radiation
• Use proper radiographic and radiation monitoring equipment such as X-ray, gamma-ray and etc.
• Identify radiation  protection and radiation materials
• Recognize the  legislative structure  and radiation  regulation for radiation  safety
