Radiation Protection and Safety Training
We train personnel whose work involves radiation — Radiation Protection Officers (RSO), technicians on industrial sites and plant managers — on programmes accredited by the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation and the National eLearning Center. Programmes are delivered by trainers engaged by the IAEA for its own programmes, in the classroom, online or at the client's sites.
Programmes by role and exposure level
Radiation Protection Officers (RSO/RPO)
Qualification of officers in industrial, medical and research facilities to manage the radiation protection programme.
Technicians on industrial sites
Personnel who handle radioactive sources and instruments on site and may be exposed in the course of their daily work.
Facility managers and supervisors
Personnel with decision-making authority and regulatory responsibility, who require an overview of radiation risks rather than measurement detail.
NORM handling teams
Specialised training on handling naturally occurring radioactive material and its waste.
Workers under dose monitoring
Workers who wear dosimeters and need to understand what is measured and why.
Emergency response teams
Preparedness for radiological incidents and the correct initial response actions.
Training topics in radiation protection and safety
Radiation protection principles and dosimetry
Fundamental concepts: the nature of radiation, exposure limits and dose measurement.
NORM handling
Specialised training on handling naturally occurring radioactive material across the oil and gas, water and mining sectors.
Facility-specific programmes
We build the programme around your sources, your team roles and your licence requirements.
Radiation Protection Officer (RSO) programme
A programme qualifying Radiation Protection Officers (RSO) in industrial, medical and research facilities, with a curriculum designed in line with the examination system adopted by the Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC). It runs over five training days (40 training hours, 8 am to 5 pm), delivered face to face in Riyadh and Al Khobar or through a virtual classroom. Intakes recur throughout the year, including one delivered in Arabic, and are taught by trainers engaged by the IAEA for its own programmes, under TVTC and NELC accreditation.
