Please register today and join us on September 22nd for our new webinar series built with our network of safety professionals in mind!
This month, join us as Doug Castro walks us through the hazards surrounding NORM/TENORM (Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) in oil and gas exploration.
For the past several years, the government and industry have taken a significant interest in NORM/TENORM, often found in oil and gas exploration & production and other industries. NORM/TENORM results from human activities such as manufacturing, mineral extraction, or water processing and can cause short & long-term health effects, including cancer and prenatal radiation exposure.
