Training activity information
Details
Review the safe working practices for optical radiation and reflect on how this guides practice
Type
Observational training activity (OTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.
Considerations
- Consider:
- Control of optical radiation regulations for workers
- Patient dosimetry of therapeutic optical radiation equipment
- Regulation of personal protective equipment for patients, visitors and workers
- Local rules and risk assessments
- Safe application of therapeutic sources
- Management of controlled areas
- Patient safety
