It is a legal requirement for employers to inform their employees about work-related risks, as well as equip them with necessary means to perform said work safely. This must take place before employees start their work. The acquired knowledge must demonstrably be kept on the right level, together with ensuring the latest developments and insights are being shared and honoured.
In some occupational groups participation in radiation protection courses that meet governmental requirements, is obligatory. This applies to most professions in the medical setting. For other professions, sometimes an instruction directed at the specific task can suffice.
Our courses are accredited by the Dutch Authority on Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ANVS) under accreditation number ANVS-PP-2022/0091279-48.
