Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) course
Online RPS Training (multimedia, on demand 24/7)
If you require an immediate RPS training course, available 24/7 on demand and covers all sources of ionising radiation, then please head over to our Online Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) course (purchase immediately and take the course at your pace). This course covers medical, security, freight, R&D, food and drink, quality assurance, industrial and much more.
Our online RPS training courses have been very well subscribed (over >1000 delegates registered as of September 2024). Just released is our new online on demand RPS refresher training course - initially open to all current Ionactive delegates (and opening to all users of ionising radiation early 2025).
Onsite RPS Training
If you prefer face to face training then Ionactive offers an on-site training service at your place of work. This service can be delivered as a training only package (if there are at least 6 delegates or more). Alternatively, if the training can be delivered as an add-on to a Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) service, there is no minimum number of delegates (if the training is delivered on the same day as the RPA visit).

What's included in a typical RPS Course?
Radiation safety courses may sound daunting to begin with, but ours are not. If training face to face we will ask you about your use of ionising radiation and ensure that we cover what you need to meet the requirements of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR 17).
- Nature of ionising radiations and their interactions
- The biological effects of radiation
- Quantities (dose, dose rate, activity, half-life)
- Measurements (monitoring, dosimetry, instrumentation)
- The external and internal radiation hazard
- Radiation risk assessments
- Principles (time, distance, shielding, containment)
- Personal protective equipment
- The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17)
- Local Rules and the Radiation Protection Supervisor
- Contingency plans (what to do when things go wrong)
Generally the following key topics will be covered
Who should attend Ionactive RPS training?
Our courses are designed for all, regardless of the type of radiation source being used. The advantage is that delegates will learn to understand their own sources in context, by comparing with other industries and workplaces. It's a great way to understand radiation risk.
