Radsafe Responders Training Course

The Radsafe Responders Refresher Training Courses is aimed specifically at those employees of Radsafe member organisations who act as Radsafe Responders and who have already attended Initial Training.

Its aim is to provide an interactive learning situation to enhance Radsafe Responders support to the emergency services during a Radsafe incident.

For the responders course there are two options:

Initial Training - For new responders Radsafe offers practical training supported by our training partner Ricardo (part of WSP). Courses should be booked directly though WSP via the email - Radsafe rcd.radsafe@wsp.com - They will advise of what courses are available to be joined. If an organisation has multiple responders requiring training, then a course can be facilitated at their location.

Refresher training - Radsafe now offers online training to refresh responders in their actions at the scene of an event. This training is available here
