UC Berkeley Support Staff Radiation Safety training is for employees whose work may take them into areas of the campus where radioactive materials, radiation producing machines, lasers, and other non-ionizing radiation sources may be present, but personnel whose work requires that they be on an RUA should take RAM User Training. This would include (but is not limited to): PPCS employees such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters and UC Police, Campus Custodial Staff, OLAC Workers, etc. Personnel whose work requires that they be on an RUA or LUR should contact the Office of Radiation Safety about other training.
