General Radiation Course Information
Requirements of the Radiation Safety Program include radiation safety training for all users of radiation. This includes those whose official duties may potentially expose them to radiation.
The primary responsibility for providing adequate training for individuals who work routinely with radiation sources rests with the Principal User.
The Radiation Control Office, however, has traditionally provided radiation safety training to ensure that regulatory requirements for training have been met.
The Radiation Safety Committee has established training requirements for all radiation users. These requirements are outlined in the Radiation Control Manual and in Radiological Instruction No. 44 (RI-44).
Please post this training schedule in the laboratory or in a common area and provide this information to qualified users. Please register for the training courses via the RCO website. You will need CSU ID. Please contact RCO by phone(491-4835), by fax (491-4804), or by mail (Environmental Health Services- 6021) if you have questions.
Class size is limited to 15 people, therefore you should register for your classes as soon as possible. Any class with less than 5 persons will be contacted about rescheduling the course.
