Radiation workersare sometimes referred to as occupationally exposed workers.3.1.3 radiologically controlled area, narea where accessis controlled for purposes of
18、radiological protection.4. Significance and Use4.1 The purpose of this guide is to define the elements of aradiological protection training program that will enable aradiation worker, upon completion of training, to achieve thefollowing:4.1.1 Understand the relative health and safety risks associ-at
19、ed with the types and levels of radiation that may beencountered during the work assignment in radiologicallycontrolled areas,4.1.2 Complete the forms and records necessary to bepermitted to function as a radiation worker,4.1.3 Practice the necessary monitoring and contaminationcontrol techniques to
20、 minimize exposure to radiation or radio-active materials, or both, and4.1.4 Practice work habits that will minimize the impact ofradiation or radioactive materials, or both, upon the workplaceand surrounding environments.4.2 The standardization of radiation worker radiologicalprotection training pr
21、ovides the individual radiation workerwith a greater assurance that the training received is adequateto minimize radiation exposure, to enable the worker to worksafely in a radiologically controlled area, and to meet appli-cable regulations.4.3 The standardization of radiation worker radiologicalpro
22、tection training prevents unnecessary retraining of radiationworkers.4.4 This guide should be used as the basis for establishing aradiological protection training program for radiation workersat nuclear facilities.5. Training Administration5.1 Training Program ObjectivesThe objectives of theradiolog
23、ical protection training program shall be to accomplishthe following:5.1.1 Provide guidance and training to enable each radiationworker to ensure ALARA.5.1.2 Ensure that radiation workers are instructed in andphysically can demonstrate the proper use of commonly usedradiation protection instrumentat
24、ion, personal protective equip-ment, respirators, and personal exposure monitoring devicesnecessary to that individuals work assignment.5.1.3 Train every radiation worker to enable compliancewith appropriate safety and health postings and procedures andthe proper reaction to warnings, alarms, and em
25、ergency situa-tions.5.1.4 Inform every radiation worker about the immediateand the long-term health risks associated with the acceptanceof radiation exposure, and about the basis for health riskestimates.5.1.5 Provide the information needed to enable each radia-tion worker to comply with applicable
26、regulations.5.1.6 Ensure that the program can be reviewed and revisedas needed to meet changing conditions, and that the instructionis sufficiently understood to permit its practical application.5.1.7 Ensure that radiation workers receive adequate radio-logical protection training for each job to wh
27、ich they areassigned.5.1.8 Ensure that training is not repeated needlessly on siteor at other facilities where the trained radiation worker may beemployed.5.1.9 Conduct training in such a way that the radiationworker knows the specific objectives of the training and candetermine whether or not the t
28、raining has been completedsatisfactorily.5.2 Training Program Content:5.2.1 The content of the radiological protection trainingprogram shall be commensurate with potential radiologicalprotection problems in the radiologically controlled area. Thecontent of the program also shall reflect the type of
29、nuclearfacility (see 3.1) for which the training is being provided. Theinclusion of topics in Section 6 and the emphasis of each topicwithin the training program shall be based on the needs of eachindividual or group requiring training. Hands-on or practicaltraining shall be included in addition to
30、classroom trainingwhere appropriate.5.2.2 Credit may be given for prior applicable trainingreceived off site. Documentation of that training shall be inaccordance with 5.6. It is appropriate to determine the appli-cability of an individuals prior training and experience, withrespect to the present j
31、ob requirements, by means of a test. Ifthe prior applicable training was received before the periodspecified for requalification (see 5.5), then refresher training asdescribed in 5.5 shall be given prior to the administration of thetest. This refresher training may be combined with site-specifictrai
32、ning.5.2.3 Site-specific training shall be provided. Site-specifictraining shall include those topics in Section 6, the details ofwhich may vary from one nuclear facility to another. Someexamples are identification of and response to various alarms,evacuation routes, administrative limits and proced
33、ures, andradiological hazards unique to the facility.5.3 Scheduling:5.3.1 The radiological protection training program shall bescheduled so that each individual is trained in radiologicalprotection to the degree necessary to perform his/her taskssafely before entering a radiologically controlled are
34、a.5.3.2 For special cases in which an individual must enter aradiologically controlled area before completion of his train-ing, the individual shall be escorted by a fully trained andqualified person. Such entries may be necessary for on-the-jobtraining, for example. A brief radiological protection
35、orienta-tion should be provided to escorted individuals prior to entryinto a radiologically controlled area.5.4 Testing:5.4.1 A radiation workers knowledge of, competency in,and understanding of the basic principles and methods ofradiological protection shall be evaluated through a written orE 1168
36、95 (2008)2computer-based objective test. Oral tests shall not be substi-tuted for written or computer-based tests unless the impracti-cality of administering a written test is established and docu-mented on an individual basis. The worker shall be reinstructedand retested on any subject of which he
37、has insufficientknowledge. The testing shall be designed to establish whetheror not the worker has the knowledge, understanding, and skillto work safely.5.4.2 All radiation workers whose radiological protectiondepends on their effective use of equipment, facilities, orspecialized procedures shall be
38、 observed by a qualified trainerwhile using such equipment or facilities or performing suchprocedures, and shall be individually graded on a pass-failbasis, that is, the worker performs the task satisfactorily or isgiven additional training until satisfactory performance isachieved or until the work
39、er is found unsuitable for the job.5.4.3 All written, computer-based, oral, and practical testsshall have carefully developed bases in order to ensure thatappropriate areas of knowledge and skill are covered. Testsshould cover information presented to the radiation worker andshall emphasize knowledg
40、e and practices directly related today-to-day radiological protection.5.5 Requalification:5.5.1 The training program shall include periodic refreshertraining as required by the appropriate regulatory authority, orat least every two years, for any work description. High-riskwork, for example, glove b
41、ox operation, high-radiation entry,or radiography sources shall require at least annual requalifi-cation (see Note 2).5.5.2 Requalification testing shall be carried out in conjunc-tion with refresher training.5.5.3 Those radiation workers requiring new or refreshedknowledge because of reassignment s
42、hall be given appropriatetraining and testing.5.5.4 Supervisors and radiological protection personnelshould be alert to radiation worker performance that indicatesthe need for further instruction, and shall design or revisetraining programs to meet those needs.NOTE 2Refresher training is generally l
43、ess detailed than initialtraining, because refresher training usually highlights and reviews thematerial that was covered in initial training.5.6 RecordsAdequate training records help to avoid un-necessary repetition of an individuals training and may beused to determine the adequacy of an individua
44、ls trainingbefore each new work assignment. Training records shall berequired for initial training and refresher training. Theserecords, which are used to document compliance with trainingrequirements for health and safety, shall be maintained by theorganization providing the training or by the orga
45、nization towhich the radiation worker belongs. Records referencedthroughout this guide could be beneficial in future defenselitigation. Legal counsel of the training organization should beconsulted for determination of retention requirements andretention periods.5.6.1 An individuals training records
46、 shall include thefollowing information:5.6.1.1 The radiation workers name and a unique identifi-cation code (such as a social security number or passportnumber),5.6.1.2 Inclusive dates and instructors name for each seg-ment of training or for each different training program,5.6.1.3 The type of nucl
47、ear facility (see 3.1) for which thetraining program was developed,5.6.1.4 A specific description of all training completedsatisfactorily, such as references to pertinent lesson plans,course outlines, syllabuses, and other subject-specific descrip-tive information. Specific reference usually is made
48、 to suchmaterials by date, edition, or issue,5.6.1.5 Aperformance rating for each segment of training oreach different training program satisfactorily completed by theradiation worker. This rating normally consists of a numericalor letter grade or a written evaluation,5.6.1.6 Checklists that documen
49、t the radiation workersperformance on an on-the-job training segment, where appli-cable, and5.6.1.7 The name and location of the training facility.5.6.2 On completion of training, each radiation worker shallreceive a certificate of satisfactory completion, signed by thetraining department manager (or equivalent), that shall includethe training dates and locations, the type of nuclear facility forwhich the training program content was developed, the nameand location of the facility at which the training records aremaintained, and a statement that the training is in accord
