Contamination Monitoring Refresher Training

​P​roper monitoring for radioactivity is an important part of ​laboratory safety. At the NIH, labs must be monitored at least daily, and at the end of each laboratory use.

The Contamination Monitoring Refresher training module reviews successful contamination control methods such as proper planning, correct usage​ of protective coverings and personal protective equipment (PPE), and how to avoid spills and injuries when using radioactive materials​​. ​​​
