Training activity information

Details

Make measurements and estimate occupational exposure of non-ionising radiation for at least one of the following:

  • Lasers
  • Phototherapy

Type

Developmental training activity (DTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.

Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.

An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.

Considerations

  • Risks associated with exposure to non-ionising radiation
  • Relevant legislation and dose limits
  • Adherence to minimal exposure times and dose limits

Relevant learning outcomes

# Outcome
# 2 Outcome

Critically appraise the risks and safety requirements associated with ionising and non-ionising radiation.

# 3 Outcome

Perform and interpret measurements of radiation, draw conclusions on adequacy of control measures and advise on further action.

# 4 Outcome

Calculate estimated radiation doses, evaluating the limitations and uncertainties of the approach.
