SAFETY CODE 29 X-RAY
TRAINING COURSE
Valley Associates has been involved in X-Ray training for over 10 years, and we have a lot of experience in training, and use of different types of machines. We have done training and maintenance on Astrophysics, Smiths, Voti, Rapiscan as well as AS&E all over Canada. Our course puts a lot of emphasis on item identification, safety considerations, as well as threat detection.
Our course takes just under a full working day to deliver. The first 3-4 hours are a presentation on Safety Code 29, Safe Operating Procedures, Image analysis and Threat detection, with a review test at the end of the session. After a break for lunch, the last 3 hours will be hands on operation of the X-Ray, which will include using the controls, threat detection, and good operating habits. We have a number of training items which simulate explosives and weapons that we use to help teach the attendees.​
