This e-learning module is designed to give an overview and awareness of Radiation. It examines the health risks from ionising radiation and is based around a scenario featuring the story of an incident involving the transport of radioactive materials. The tutorials examine the hazards to casualties and risks to staff during a radiation incident and how to minimise them.
