Welcome to this unique Radiation Safety training course designed specifically for facilities that own, and for individuals who operate, non-medical cabinet x-ray systems utilized primarily for security checkpoint and threat detection inspection purposes for the aviation industry, indirect air carriers, law enforcement, critical infrastructure buildings, casino’s, corporate mailrooms, and cruise line ports.

Industrial cabinet x-ray systems are also widely used in the food processing and packaging industry for foreign material detection and the automotive and circuit board manufacturing industries for defect inspections.

If your duties require you to work in or frequent a restricted area routinely and you could potentially be exposed to a source of ionizing radiation like a cabinet x-ray machine; State Radiation Control Agencies require that you receive initial x-ray operator training AND radiation safety training. Annual refresher training is also recommended or required by your State.

RCE Consulting, LLC radiation safety training courses combine 40 years of knowledge and experience in both the nuclear and radiation emitting device industry to address the questions and concerns most cabinet x-ray operators have. Few companies, if any, offer the complete regulatory required Radiation Protection Program (RPP) and the regulatory required x-ray operator training and radiation safety training required by all State ionizing radiation regulations, UNTIL NOW !!

The Security/Baggage Type Cabinet X-Ray Operator course is for those who operate the security type checkpoint x-ray machines like those used at the airports. There is no operator course for food inspection machines since there are well over 50 manufacturers and each machines software is different.

Whether you possess a security x-ray machine or an x-ray machine used in the food processing industry or other applications, if your x-ray machine is classified as a “cabinet x-ray” then this is the correct radiation safety course for either type or application. You should take this course first BEFORE you take the Security/Baggage Type Cabinet X-Ray Operator course, it will make more sense if you take this course first. The Learning Management System (LMS) we use allows you to take any course at your leisure from your smartphone, your tablet, your laptop or a desktop computer. All you need to access a course is an internet connection and some speakers or headsets to listen.
