Ionising radiation punishes casual handling long after the shift ends, and the regulations governing it assume competence, not good intentions. This programme develops a working understanding of the hazards and risks of work involving ionising radiation, so participants can undertake risk assessments, develop safe systems of work, and implement the contingency plans those assessments identify. The syllabus covers the properties of ionising radiation and its biological effects, the units used in radiation protection, dose limitation, and the normative and legislative structure — including the Radioactive Substances Act. Selection and use of radiation monitors, the roles of radiation protection supervisors and advisors, transport of radioactive substances, and safe working with NORM and NORM waste complete the programme.

Frequently asked
Are the HSE programmes aligned with international standards?
Programmes work within the recognised safety and environmental management frameworks — including the logic of ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 management systems, HAZID, HAZOP and SIL studies, and HIRA methodology. BIZENIUS does not issue those certifications itself; the programmes prepare your teams and your management system for the audits behind them.
Do the programmes go beyond compliance basics?
Yes — the curriculum runs from hazard identification through incident and accident investigation, contractor safety management, H2S awareness, emergency response and crisis management. Participants leave able to run a root-cause investigation, write the report that stands up to scrutiny, and hold contractors to the same standard as employees.
Can HSE training be delivered at our site?
Yes. Any BIZENIUS programme can run in-house — at the plant, the field or the facility — tailored to your permits, your procedures and your incident history, in English or French. Site delivery is the most common format for HSE work, because safety training lands hardest where the risk lives.
Who attends the HSE programmes?
HSE managers and officers, operations and line supervisors, engineers, and the managers who own contractor relationships. Cohorts deliberately mix safety specialists with line leadership, because safety that lives only in the HSE department does not survive a night shift.
