  1. A resource to occupational radiation safety professionals within the DOE community. Radiation ProtectionSpecial Interest Group Initiative

  2. Network of personnel from the DOE complex involved in sharing occupational radiation safety and health information • Sponsored by the DOE Office of Worker Safety and Health Policy (HS-10) • Managed by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education RP SIG

  3. Provide resources through a website to improve worker S&H within the DOE complex http://www.orau.gov/rpsig/index.html • Maintain the DOE Technology Supported Learning Index http://www.orau.gov/eh/training/tsl_Index/tsl_index.htm • Share information through the RP SIG Listserv email tool Activities

  4. Types: • DOE policy & regulations • Guidance, procedures & best practices documents • Training resources • Tools & other resources (databases, FAQs, fact sheets. presentations, publications, and videos ) • Upcoming events and other resources Providers: • DOE and other government agencies • DOE contractors • Universities • Private institutions Online Resources

Radiological Safety Training for Uranium Facilities Department of Energy • Radiation Safety Training Purdue University • Radiological Worker Training Guide Jefferson Lab • Radiation Safety Training - Professional Training Programs Oak Ridge Associated Universities Examples of Training Resources

  6. Ionization International Atomic Energy Agency • Radiation Principles Department of Health and Human Services - CDC • Low-Dose Radiation Department of Energy • Understanding Radiation Video Series, Basic radiation concepts explained by REAC/TS staff Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Examples of video Resources

  7. Fact Sheet on Biological Effects of Radiation Nuclear Regulatory Commission • Radiation Fact Sheets Health Physics Society • Fact Sheet on the Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric and Magnetic Fields (1 Hz to 100 kHz) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection • How are People Protected from Ionizing Radiation? Ohio State University Examples of fact sheet Resources

  8. Occurrence Reporting and Processing System (ORPS) Provides timely notification of events that could adversely affect: public or DOE worker H&S, the environment, national security, DOE's safeguards and security interests, functioning of DOE facilities, or the Department's reputation • Radiation Exposure Information and Reporting System (REIRS) Database of information on radiation exposure to the workforce at certain NRC licensed facilities • Radiation Exposure Monitoring Systems (REMS) Database of occupational radiation exposures for all monitored DOE employees, contractors, subcontractors and members of the public Examples of Database Resources
