X-Ray Radiation Safety Training Quiz

All CSULB personnel who solo-operate an x-ray producing device, including electron microscopes, must have successfully completed the CSULB X-Ray safety training program. This basic x-ray safety training consists of a presentation slides, followed by an exam. This basic safety presentation addresses the biological effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. Some basic radiation physics and regulatory information is also presented.

To complete the training, please view the X-Ray Radiation Safety Training (PDF) then take the take the X-Ray Radiation Safety Quiz below.

* indicates a required field.
