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. |
