Training Course Overview
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) exist naturally within the earth’s crust and can become concentrated as a result of human industrial activities such as oil and gas extraction, mining, water treatment, and geothermal energy production. If NORM is not handled or disposed of properly, it can pose serious health risks, cause environmental contamination, and lead to regulatory non-compliance.
This Managing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) training course is designed to provide professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the sources, characteristics, hazards, and exposure routes of NORM. Participants will gain knowledge of industry best practices for identifying, assessing, controlling, and managing NORM in accordance with regulatory requirements, promoting safety, compliance, and environmental stewardship.
Through expert-led presentations, practical case studies, and hands-on exercises, attendees will acquire essential skills to develop and implement effective NORM management programs that comply with international safety guidelines such as those set by the IAEA, OSHA, and other national authorities. This course is vital for professionals working in industries where NORM exposure is an increasing concern.
