Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to recognise the hazards and risks of working with uranium and/or thorium ores, mineral sands and any other naturally occurring material and to use appropriate radiation protection and safety measures. This involves recognising the hazards and risks associated with assigned work activities, using the required radiation protection and safety measures, responding appropriately to actual or potential emergencies, and contributing to improved radiation safety.This unit applies to those who directly handle, or come in direct contact with, radioactive materials in the mining and mineral processing industry sector and who may receive occupational exposures of greater than 1 millisievert per annum.These personnel include drillers, miners, loader operators, plant operators, and samplers/testers who may:undertake exploration surveys of radioactive ore bodiesextract, mill, process or pack radioactive ores, concentrates or mineral productsmanage radioactive by-products, contaminants and/or wasterehabilitate mine sitesundertake laboratory testing.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 under direct supervision, performing routine tasks, in a familiar context.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | ||
