Radiation and Laser Safety Training:

Welcome to the Radiation and Laser Safety Training webpage. Please use the links on this page to identify and complete courses needed to ensure proper handling of radiation and lasers in both the clinical and research environments. It is important to complete all safety training courses prior to working in a laboratory. You may find other safety training courses on RASCAL.

(Clinical and Research)

Descriptions of Training Courses:

TC1750 - This course is required to be completed prior your in-person initial radiation safety training. 

TC3300 - This training satisfies annual radiation safety refresher training requirements for PIs and lab managers.

TC3350 - This training satisfies requirement for annual refresher training for those who use radioactive materials.

TC3400 - This training satisfies requirement for initial and annual refresher training for open x-ray and sealed source device users.

TC3500 - This training satisfies requirement for initial and annual refresher training for individuals who use enclosed X-ray and sealed source devices.

TC5400 - All Staff working in the clinical radiation use environment except staff operating the x-ray unit (technologists or physicians). This course must be renewed annually.

TC1600 - The objective of this course is to educate employees in hazard recognition and safe use of lasers. This will enable faculty, staff and students to enhance overall safety and compliance with laser standard when working with lasers in their laboratories. This course must be renewed every two years.
