Radiation Safety Training in Middlesbrough UK
Working safely with ionising radiation is a critical responsibility across many inspection and testing environments. Whether supporting quality assurance in manufacturing, inspecting critical infrastructure or carrying out industrial radiography, understanding radiation hazards and safe working practices is essential.
Professionals looking to strengthen their knowledge in this area can join TWI Training's upcoming Basic Radiation Safety (BRS) course, taking place in Middlesbrough from 20–21 July 2026.
Industrial radiography remains one of the most effective non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for examining the integrity of components and structures. However, the use of radiation sources requires a thorough understanding of safety principles, regulations and risk control measures.
The Basic Radiation Safety course has been developed to provide candidates with the fundamental knowledge required to work safely and responsibly around ionising radiation.
Throughout the two-day programme, delegates will gain an understanding of:
- The nature and properties of ionising radiation
- Radioactive isotopes and radiation sources
- Radiation dose and biological effects
- Radiation monitoring and measurement
- Safe working practices and hazard control
- Time, distance and shielding principles
- Emergency procedures and contingency planning
- Relevant legislation and industry guidance
The course is particularly valuable for those involved in industrial radiography and related inspection activities, helping candidates understand the practical steps required to minimise risk and maintain safe working environments.
By developing a strong foundation in radiation safety, delegates can improve their awareness of workplace hazards while supporting compliance with industry requirements and certification schemes. Basic Radiation Safety training is widely recognised throughout the NDT industry and forms an important part of the knowledge required by personnel working with radiation-generating equipment and radioactive sources. The programme aligns with recognised industry requirements and includes examination, helping candidates demonstrate their understanding of radiation safety principles.
