What Our Radiation Safety Training Courses Cover
Generic safety briefings will not satisfy regulators or protect workers. Our radiation safety training is built for industrial professionals who need defensible compliance documentation and practical skills they can apply on shift.
Every course is developed and instructed by certified health physicists with decades of field experience. Across our radiation safety training courses, learners build competence in:
Every course is developed and instructed by certified health physicists with decades of field experience. Across our radiation safety training courses, learners build competence in:
- Fundamentals of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
- ALARA principles, time, distance, and shielding
- Survey instruments, dosimetry, and dose recordkeeping
- Posting, labeling, and storage of radioactive materials
- NRC and Agreement State regulatory requirements
- Emergency response and incident investigation
- Program management and audit readiness for RSOs
Course depth scales to the role. A technician operating a single cabinet x-ray unit does not need the same training as a Radiation Safety Officer overseeing an entire program, and our catalog reflects that. The 40-Hour RSO Training & Core Compliance Training covers full program oversight, while Short and Specialized Compliance Courses deliver focused content for specific equipment and roles.
Radiation Safety Courses for Your Industry
Radiation hazards differ significantly across industrial sectors. A demolition crew working with moisture-density gauges has nothing in common with a military depot managing legacy materials, so our radiation safety courses are tailored by sector rather than delivered as one-size-fits-all content.
We provide industry-specific radiation protection training for:
We provide industry-specific radiation protection training for:
- Manufacturing - cabinet x-ray, industrial CT, gauging devices, x-ray fluorescence, irradiators, and quality-control systems
- Construction and demolition - moisture-density gauges, NORM-impacted soils, and site clearance
- Mining and minerals processing - naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) and TENORM
- Oil and gas - pipe scale, well-logging sources, and produced water handling
- Industrial radiography - fixed and portable gamma and X-ray operations
- Research and academic facilities - sealed and unsealed source handling
- Military and defense - depleted uranium, legacy contamination, and operational readiness
IRSC does not serve the medical or dental sectors. Our focus is on industrial, governmental, and research clients who need compliance programs that hold up under inspection.
Radiation Safety Training for NRC, DOT, Agreement State, and OSHA Compliance
OSHA radiation safety training is not optional for employers whose workers may be exposed to ionizing radiation. Under 29 CFR 1910.1096, employers are required to instruct personnel on health protection, precautions to minimize exposure, and the purpose of monitoring devices in use at the facility.
Our courses are built to satisfy NRC, DOT, and Agreement State requirements, as well as OSHA expectations.
For organizations handling regulated transportation or security-controlled materials, Regulatory Controls & Transport Training addresses those obligations directly. Completion documentation includes topics covered, training duration, and instructor credentials, giving you a clean audit trail when inspectors arrive.

We Specialize in Online Radiation Safety Training
Pulling crews off-site for classroom instruction is expensive and rarely practical. Online radiation safety training solves that problem. Courses are delivered through a self-paced platform that works on desktop and mobile, allowing workers to complete modules around shift schedules while employers track progress in real time.
Our online radiation safety training is the same regulator-aligned content we deliver in person, structured for distributed teams. Each module includes knowledge checks, and final assessments must be passed before certificates are issued. Live-web instruction is also available when teams want direct interaction with the instructor without the cost of travel.

Radiation Safety Certification: What You'll Receive
Upon successful course completion, students receive radiation safety certification documentation listing the course title, completion date, training hours, topics covered, and instructor signature. The certificate references the regulations the training was built to address, so it stands up during licensing reviews and client prequalification.
Annual refresher requirements are handled through our Refresher & Supplemental Safety Training catalog, keeping your team current without re-running full courses. Records are retained on our end as well, so duplicates can be reissued years later if originals are lost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does radiation safety training take?
General awareness training runs 1 to 2 hours. Specialized compliance courses range from 4 to 16 hours. Full RSO training is 40 hours.
Is online radiation safety training accepted by regulators?
Yes, when content meets regulatory requirements and completion is properly documented. Our online courses are built to that standard.
Do you offer refresher training?
Annual refresher radiation protection training is available for every course type and is typically required by license conditions. The exception is RSO training, which is not subject to a mandatory repeat cycle. However, Radiation Safety Officers are expected to pursue ongoing professional development and retraining opportunities.
Who teaches the courses?
Our courses are developed in conjunction with certified health physicists with decades of field experience. The majority of our course catalog is self-paced, allowing learners to move through regulator-aligned content on their own schedule. Live instruction is available in limited offerings for teams who want direct interaction with an industry-experienced instructor.
