OSHA Ionizing Radiation Hazards Certification
29 CFR 1910.1096 training
Sources of ionizing radiation are found in a wide range of workplace settings including doctor and dentist offices, clinics, hospitals, labs, research institutions, nuclear reactors and their support facilities, nuclear weapon production facilities, and other manufacturing companies.
All of these radiation sources can pose a considerable health risk to affected workers if not properly controlled. OSHA requires that employers provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers.

OSHA has not yet specified requirements for retraining or recertification for Ionizing Radiation Hazards General Industry standard 29 CFR ยง 1910.1096. However, according to OSHA 2254:
Other OSHA standards make it the employer's responsibility to limit certain job assignments to employees who are "certified," "competent," or "qualified" — meaning that they have had special previous training, in or out of the workplace.
Due to the serious health consequences of exposure to ionizing radiation, we recommend annual retraining of employees.
