Naturally occurring radioactive material ( NORM) Course
Introduction:
This program is intended for individuals who work with Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) in settings like waste and water treatment plants, oil and gas drilling pipe handling sites, natural gas and propane processing plants, uranium or radium ore processing plants, thorium processing plants, facilities handling radon in buildings, radium-illuminated instruments and dials, and disposal and recycling facilities.These websites may also be referred to as TENORM or technologically enhanced NORM sites. You will be able to determine whether NORM is present and in what quantity, assess radiation levels for worker safety, and handle or dispose of NORM safely after completing this course. Materials containing radioisotopes that are naturally occurring in the environment are referred to as naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM).
Course Objectives:
The NORM course is intended to provide the necessary information on radiation protection so that personnel can work under supervision, follow instructions, and understand why certain procedures are required to be followed.
Who Should Attend?
The course is intended for the management, strategic planners, operations, safety, and production professionals in the Oil, Gas, and petrochemical industries.
