For those interested in the material that will enter the VET training package system, all of the current drafts of the units of competencies appear below. Comment closed some weeks ago, but there is still an opportunity to make comments.

Radiation Protection and Safety

Feedback of 7 draft units of competency in radiation protection have been developed by a working group of the Radiation Health Committee, led by Government Skills Australia. The drafts can be downloaded here, but comments on them must be provided back to GSA via their website (you will need to create an account in order to provide official comments).
 

YouTube contains many Radiation Protection videos that may be of interest to ARPS members.  I have inserted few examples that may interest members and give you an idea what sort of content is available from YouTube. Be aware, some work places frown on the use of YouTube and block access. However, there is a lot of educational material available on YouTube to the selective viewer.

Broadband is required to watch these videos...

Government Skills Australia had publicised a number of consultation workshops on the draft unit of competency “Safely perform radiation protection tasks at a emergency incident site”.
