form
RADIOACTIVE
MATERIALS USERS
The radioactive materials license issued to the UCI campus by the Radiologic
Health Branch of the California Department of Public Health establishes
minimum training requirements for new radioactive materials users.
The training program consists of three elements: Radiation Safety Part I, on-the-job training, and completion of Radiation Safety Part II.
A. Must be completed PRIOR TO handling any radioactivity.
B. Is an online training course consisting of several modules, each followed by a short quiz.
C. Registration is through the UC Irvine Training & Employee Development (TED) web site.
II. On-The-Job Training
New radioisotope users are required to receive supervised, on-the-job training by the responsible principal investigator or a senior researcher designated by the responsible principal investigator. This on-the-job training must be completed WITHIN ONE MONTH of starting to work with radioactive materials, and it must be documented on the On-the-Job-Training form.
III. Radiation Safety Part II
A. Radiation Safety Part II is a classroom-type course held at the Environmental Health & Safety Services Facility, Room 122.
B. The course must be completed WITHIN SIX MONTHS of the start of work with radioactive materials.
C. Radiation Safety Part I must be completed before attending Radiation Safety Part II.
RADIATION
SAFETY TRAINING FOR RADIATION-PRODUCING MACHINE USERS
State
regulations issued by the Radiologic Health Branch of the California Department
of Public Health set minimum training requirements for new x-ray machine
and/or particle accelerator users. The training program consists of two
elements: initial orientation and on-the-job training.
I. Radiation-producing Machine Safety Orientation
A. This course consists of completing several required forms, viewing a 30-minute computer based training program, reviewing the Prenatal Radiation Exposure Policy (if female), and passing a quiz.
B. The course must be completed PRIOR TO operating any radiation-producing machines.
C. Sessions are offered at the Environmental Health and Safety Office, 4600 Health Sciences Road. A schedule of sessions is available for registration on the UC Irvine Training & Employee Development (TED) web site.
D. On-The-Job Training
A. New machine users are required to complete adequate supervised on-the-job training under the direct, personal supervision of the responsible principal investigator or a senior researcher designated by the responsible principal investigator.
B. This on-the-job training must be completed WITHIN THREE MONTHS of starting to work with radiation-producing machines, and it must be documented on the On the Job Training form.
