This module is an introduction to the training system for emergency personnel such as police, fire and rescue organizations, members of the military, security companies and people from the field of accident prevention.
Participants are taught the basics of radioactivity, radiation protection and organization-specific operational tactical measures. The course content is based on the Intervention Ordinance (intV) and ÖNORM S5207.
This module provides the technical basics required for operations in dealing with radioactive materials. The participants acquire the necessary skills to carry out radiological detection and situational awareness (radiation detection) tasks independently, safely and in a mission-oriented manner.
The aim of postgraduate training I is to provide in-depth theoretical knowledge and practice-oriented skills for use as intervention personnel in radiation protection.
After successful completion of postgraduate training I in accordance with Intervention Ordinance (IntV), it is possible to obtain the bronze radiation protection achievement badge.
The module provides specialized skills that are required to correctly assess damage and disaster situations involving radiological hazards and to manage emergency personnel in a targeted and efficient manner. After a positive degree, graduates are able to manage radiological emergency situations on their own responsibility within an emergency organization. In addition, they have complete and application-oriented training in the area of radiation detection and radiological situation assessment.
The aim of postgraduate training II is to deepen theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills for independent work as intervention personnel in CBRN deployment. After successful completion of postgraduate training II in accordance with Intervention Ordinance (IntV), it is possible to obtain the radiation protection achievement badge in silver.
The Gold Radiation Protection Performance Competition represents the highest level of qualification in the field of radiation protection for intervention personnel. It is aimed at experienced intervention and management personnel who are able to analyse, manage and manage complex radiological deployments on their own responsibility.
This requires the writing of a scientific paper in the field of radiation and disaster control, which deals with a topic relevant to the respective emergency organization.
The handling of open radioactive materials is of particular importance for emergency services. In the event of an accident involving the release of radioactive substances (e.g. in a nuclear power plant, but also in laboratories) or an attack involving a “dirty bomb”, decontamination measures on people or objects may be necessary. This course works with open radioactive materials under realistic conditions.
After a positive test has been passed and participation in the seminar, a certificate of participation will be issued.
The following applies to the Bronze/Silver/Decon Bronze postgraduate seminar: The certificate of participation also serves as proof of participation in a competition three times as an assistant evaluator. On the confirmation of participation, the data for use as an assistant evaluator must be entered in the fields provided for this purpose and confirmed by the respective candidate manager of the performance test.
If all three assignments have been carried out as an assistant evaluator and confirmed on the certificate of participation, the applicant can submit the completed certificate of participation of the respective evaluation seminar (bronze/silver/dekon bronze) to the Seibersdorf Academy secretariat and, if all requirements are met, will be appointed by the head of the Seibersdorf Academy as an evaluator of the respective application level by means of an appointment certificate.
In the event of a refresher, the following applies:
If the refresher seminar (Bronze/Silver/Decon Bronze) is completed in the calendar year of the expiry date of the validity of the appellant appointment or in the calendar year before, a new appointment is granted for five years by means of a certificate of appointment, the reference date of the appointment being taken from the previous certificate.
If a refresher seminar is completed before the above mentioned period, the deadline for appointment changes to the date of completion of the last seminar attended. The appointment is again calculated for a period of five years from the new deadline.
The “Pro Merito” mark of merit honors outstanding contributions to radiation protection in Austria. The traditional award is presented by Seibersdorf Labor GmbH in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Defence, the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Austrian Red Cross, the Austrian Fire Service Association and the Austrian Association for Radiation Protection.
