	Radiation Safety Training for use of Radioactive Material: Maryland State and Federal regulations require that personnel using radioactive materials and radiation producing equipment must have radiation protection training. Personnel using equipment and radioactive materials (unsealed and sealed) without supervision must attend a Radiation Safety Training Class. Web based Radiation Safety Training for use of Radioactive Material is now available. (Log in using your ARES/MARS Directory ID and Password) Radiation Training for Transporting Radioactive Material: The Radiation Safety Office at the University of Maryland has a training class for personnel who will package radioactive material, prepare shipping documents, mark and label containers, handle containers used in transporting, or operate a vehicle used to transport hazardous materials. Please call Brian Zidek at (301)-405-3987 or email Brian to set up a time.
