Title: Evaluation of a Radiation Worker Safety Training Program at a nuclear facility

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10182306· OSTI ID:10182306

A radiation safety course was evaluated using the Kirkpatrick criteria of training evaluation as a guide. Thirty-nine employees were given the two-day training course and were compared with 15 employees in a control group who did not receive the training. Cognitive results show an immediate gain in knowledge, and substantial retention at 6 months. Implications of the results are discussed in terms of applications to current radiation safety training was well as follow-on training research and development requirements.
