This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the types of radiation, the health effects due to exposure and the way it is regulated.
Radiation has always been present and is all around us. Life has evolved in a world containing significant levels of ionizing radiation. We are also exposed to man-made radiation from sources such as medical treatments and activities involving radioactive material.
The health effects of radiation are well understood. Since the early 20th century, radiation’s effects have been studied in depth, in both the laboratory and among human populations. Because of the known health risks of radiation, it must be carefully used and strictly controlled. A balance must be struck between radiation’s societal benefits and the risks that radiation poses to people, health and the environment.
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect the health, safety and security of Canadians and the environment; and to implement Canada's international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It also sets dose limits to prevent workers and the public from excessive radiation exposure.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to safety engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about nuclear safety.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidelines on the safe handling and use of portable nuclear gauges.
Gauges are used in industries such as agriculture, construction and civil engineering to measure moisture and compaction levels in soil and asphalt density in paving mixes.
Two types of radiation are used in gauges: gamma and neutron.
Working with portable gauges presents no major health dangers or significant risks if basic safety precautions are taken and common sense is used. By following proper safety procedures, using effective radiation protection principles, and helping others to do likewise, the workplace will remain safe at all times.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to industrial engineers and professionals who are interested in learning about portable gauges and the safety measures to operate them.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the CNSC’s role and the role of portable gauges
- Understanding the definition of radiation and the methods of protection
- Recognizing the methods to keep track of radiation doses: personal dosimeters or counting shots
- Identifying the responsibilities of portable gauge users
- Knowing the training requirements for portable gauge users
