Those who are new to the industry who will find value in this module as a first step towards developing the skills and understanding needed to carry out the duties laid down in the various regulatory texts.
People involved in radioactive material transport who are uncertain of the overall framework of responsibilities within which they operate. They will benefit from identifying the roles and duties of all parties to a transport movement.
Established staff who will benefit from confirming that their systems and procedures are in line with the latest regulatory requirements.
Staff on the periphery of radioactive material transport in both senior and junior roles who will gain an insight into what tasks are faced by their transport colleagues.
