Source: Ionactive online radiation safety training

Ionactive is pleased to release its latest 24/7 online radiation awareness course for the food industry. The course is suitable for those working with or around x-ray screening systems. The course is therefore suitable for operators, quality assurance technicians, supervisors, engineers and others working close by. The on demand nature of the course means that delegates can fit their training around their work, either taking all in one go, or bit by bit over a number of days or weeks. The course is designed to assist in compliance with the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17).
