Conoscere la misure di tutela dei lavoratori esposti a radiazioni ionizzanti.
It is necessary to know the basic principles in "radiation physics"
The Radiation Protection of Workers in the sectors Health Care, Industrial and research. The radiation protection system adopted in the observance of the basic principles of radiation protection for workers exposed to the risk of exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). The measurement of the dose, the periodic inspections and the DPI used for staff. Assessment of equivalent and effective doses received by workers in the framework of the activities carried out by exposure to RI. Application of existing national legislation and responsibilities of the professionals stated therein: Employer, Executives and Officers, Qualified Expert, Doctor Authorized and Worker.
Educational material provided by the teacher in pdf files and reference standards (Decree Law 230/95 and subsequent) in Word files.
