Security
Volume 2
Length 31:00
Security guards are perhaps the only individuals who must deal with radioactive materials from the moment they arrive at a facility, to their storage in, and final disposal from the hot lab. Securing and monitoring areas where radiation is used, such as radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology, are routinely part of a security guard's job. This video is designed to cover the unique tasks imposed on security guards by these responsibilities.
In the video, security guard Miller explains these various tasks as the viewer follows him through a typical day. During this day, he introduces areas where radiation may be encountered. He discusses the international radiation warning sign and standard operating procedures used in areas displaying this sign. He explains what radiation is; the use of time, distance, and shielding for protection; the philosophy of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable); and precautions to take during the receipt and proper storage of radioactive shipments.
After viewing this video, your employee's understanding of his or her role in the radiation safety program, and of radiation itself, should be more than adequate. In order to reinforce this comprehension, we recommend you use the additional materials supplied with this kit to design a training course uniquely tailored to your needs. These materials include: a test; answer key providing in-depth discussion of that test; sign-up sheets; certificates; a glossary; and suggestions on how to effectively use these materials. Furthermore, reference sheets are provided enabling each employee to maintain a copy of the names and phone numbers of important people within your facility and geographical area who may be of assistance during an emergency.
