Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to provide sufficient, fully functioning radiation measuring instruments to implement an organisation’s radiation management plan and monitoring programs. This involves identifying the need for specific kinds of instruments, determining the suitability of available instruments, procuring and commissioning instruments, checking their serviceability and calibration, performing routine maintenance, training staff to operate instruments correctly, and maintaining relevant records.This unit applies to those working in a radiation safety coordination role. They may work as, or assist, a radiation safety officer working:at a mine or plant that processes radioactive ore and mineralswith instruments that emit ionising radiation at geotechnical, construction, mining and manufacturing sites, or analytical and research facilitiesin a laboratory or licensed facility that handles radioactive materials or has radiation-emitting apparatusin a nuclear facility.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out.
