An intensive professional development training course on
Managing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM)
Detection, Risk Control, and Compliance Strategies
Why Choose Managing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) Training Course?
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) are substances found in the earth’s crust that may become concentrated due to industrial activities such as mining, oil and gas extraction, geothermal energy production, and water treatment. When mismanaged, these materials pose substantial risks to human health, the environment, and operational compliance.
The Managing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials Course is specifically designed to enhance professionals’ ability to recognize, evaluate, and mitigate the risks associated with NORM. It addresses essential principles such as identification, hazard recognition, control measures, and regulatory responsibilities. By focusing on international safety guidelines and local regulations, this course ensures that participants are well-equipped to manage NORM safely and responsibly.
Participants will gain in-depth knowledge through structured sessions that cover the full spectrum of NORM management, including exposure assessment and strategic response planning. This Managing NORM Training Course is vital for industries where NORM accumulation is common and regulatory scrutiny is increasing.
