Procedure to Become a Radiation Worker

Marquette University students and research personnel who plan to work with radioisotopes under the supervision of an Authorized User must receive the required training to become a Radiation Worker.  To become a Radiation Worker, you must complete complete Parts I, II & III of the training program and take a short exam.  Please follow these steps:

• View the Radiation Worker training video Parts I & II.  These videos (VHS and DVD) are available for check out from the ORC.  View the videos at home and return them to the ORC within one week.
  
  
• Once the videos have been viewed and returned, contact the ORC to schedule the Part III training lecture with the Radiation Safety Officer.
  
  
• Once Parts I, II & III have been completed, take a short quiz administered by the Radiation Safety Officer.
  
  
• Download and complete the Affirmation of Training Statement (PDF), and have your supervising Authorized User sign the statement and return it to the ORC.
  
• If you require a radiation badge, download and complete the Badge Request Form (PDF).
  
  
• Fax or mail the Affirmation of Training Statement and the Badge Request Form to the Office of Research Compliance.  The ORC will have a radiation badge issued for your use when working with radioactive material.
