Develop ionising radiation safety plans
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit was developed for Defence workers involved in developing ionising radiation safety plans as a workplace responsibility, but is applicable to all individuals who work in this field.
Typically, these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work independently or as part of a team under indirect supervision. They must be able to use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant legislation, standards (particularly AS/NZS 1269.2:1998 Occupational Ionising Management, Part 2: Ionising control management), and organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to measure and analyse ionising radiation and to develop relevant safety plans and procedures.
In the context of this unit, ionsing radiation may include emissions from radioactive elements, controlled apparatus, sealed and unsealed sources.
The unit includes developing and drafting policy, procedures and plans/instructions for the management, amelioration and/or control of ionising radiation in the workplace.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
