Scope of NORM Training:
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material is brought to the surface from the production
of oil and gas. This results in possible accumulation of
NORM in process equipment and its piping. NORM has been
found to accumulate in the sludge and scale material that
tends to be produced.
NORM Course Objective:
Topics covered in NORM Awareness are as follows:
- NORM in the oil and gas industry
- Health & safety precautions to minimize unnecessary exposure
- Personal protective equipment requirements
- Hazards associated with ionizing radiation, including
