Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to measure and analyse ionising radiation and to develop relevant safety plans and procedures. In the context of this unit, ionising 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.This was developed for those working in Defence involved in developing ionising radiation safety plans as a workplace responsibility, but is applicable to all individuals who work in this field.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would 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.
