The purpose of this course is to give you an orientation to DOE O 426.2, Personnel Selection, Training, Qualification, and Certification Requirements for DOE Nuclear Facilities.
The purpose of this course is to review two training documents that are related to Training Manager and Learning Specialist work.
GERT is required by the 10 CFR 835, the Federal Regulation on Radiation Protection that we follow here at LANL. It’s the training for non Rad Workers who may enter Radiological Controlled Areas (RCAs) and Radioactive Material Areas (RMAs) in an unescorted manner. If your work assignment requires access to areas posted for higher radiological hazards like Radiological Buffer Areas (RBAs), Radiation Areas, Contamination Areas, and others you are required to have Rad Worker training. Once you complete this training you will be qualified to access RCAs and RMAs at LANL without an escort. However, you are not qualified to operate radiation producing devices, work with radioactive material, or do work where you may receive greater than 100 mrem of exposure in a year.
At the pilot of this course, we discovered that we need to focus on how we do waste management at LANL. Environmental Professionals have a variety of jobs - most impact waste in some way. Finding a balance between comprehensive enough and too much is key. The goals of this training are for it to be good, consistent, and helpful, not just a requirement. The course modules are: Intro to Waste, Waste Regulations and Requirements, Waste Planning, Waste Generation and Tracking, Waste Characterization, Waste Packaging, Waste Accumulation and Storage, Waste Treatment, Waste Shipping, and Operation Experience and Lessons Learned.
Upon completion of this course participants will: Have an understanding of common topics and terms associated with glovebox basics. Be able to identify common types of musculoskeletal disorders. Be able to identify high risk activities associated with glovebox activities. Be able to demonstrate knowledge of glovebox ergonomic controls and best practices. Be able to demonstrate knowledge of glovebox ergonomic design/usage guidance and best practices. Be able to demonstrate knowledge of preventable exercises for glovebox ergonomic injuries.
