Training Name Description Training Outcome
General Laser Safety Training  This training contains general laser safety training. Topics include laser classifications, beam related hazards, administrative and procedural controls, engineering Controls, non-beam hazards, emergencies and incidents as well as MSU’s laser safety program.
  • How lasers are classified from class 1-4
  • The required administrative and procedural controls (i.e. alignment procedures, guidance for safe use) for laser usage
  • The required engineering controls (i.e. eye ware, access restrictions) for laser usage
  • The emergency procedures in the event of an injury
  • The requirements of MSU’s laser safety program
X-Ray Machine Training  This training contains training on the safe use of x-ray machines (i.e. x-ray diffraction, x-ray imaging or electron microscopes). Topics include regulations, MSU’s safety program, hazard characteristics and mitigation.
  • State and federal regulations for the use or x-ray generating machines
  • Personnel responsible for the x-ray safety program
  • Program requirements
  • Hazard characteristics and methods for mitigation
Radiation Safety for Ni-63 ECD Users  This training contains training on the safe use of Ni-63 Electron Capture Devices or ECDs (i.e. x-ray diffraction, x-ray imaging or electron microscopes). Topics principles of radiation, radiation safety basics, program requirements and security of radioactive materials.
  • The characteristics of beta radiation from Ni-63
  • Presence of shielding by the design of the ECD unit
  • MSU’s program requirements
  • Security of ECD requirements
Radioactive Material User Refresher Training  This training acts as a refresher for training provided for both Radioactive Material User Training as well as the required Laboratory Specific Training.
