A leadership-tier course for the person who owns the exposure control plan: 19 scenarios stress-testing hazard assessment, the control hierarchy, training, and record-keeping against real gaps, validating 6 competencies. It readies an administrator to build a plan that survives an actual exposure and its investigation.
The leadership course of the Radiation / Biological / Bloodborne / Infection Control family — the administrator level that ties the family's biological and radiological threads together under ONE written, resourced, monitored and reviewed exposure-control program.
Equip the exposure-control administrator — the occupational-health lead, safety coordinator, manager or employer accountable for the program — to build and run a written…

Who this course is for
Safety administrators and program leads who write, maintain, and audit the workplace exposure control plan.
Occupational-health leads, safety coordinators and hygienists accountable for a written exposure-control program covering biological and / or radiological hazards
Managers and employers in healthcare, dental, personal services, laboratories, NDT / industrial radiography, oil & gas (NORM), waste and first-response settings who own the exposure-control plan and its resources
Infection-control and radiation-safety program administrators who assess the hazard, author and maintain the ECP, and run the monitoring, training and post-exposure records
Supervisors and safety committee members moving up from the awareness levels (bloodborne, radiation, IPAC) into building, resourcing and reviewing the written program those levels feed
What you will learn
Explain that an exposure-control plan only protects if it's LIVED — assess it, plan it, control it, train it, monitor it, review it — and that a binder on a shelf protects no one, across both biological and radiological hazards
ASSESS the hazard and the exposure across BOTH hazard classes — biological agents and radiation sources — identifying who is exposed, by what route or mode, and at what dose, before choosing any control
PLAN — author the written Exposure Control Plan (ECP) as the living document that names the hazards, the hierarchy of controls, the training, the monitoring and the post-exposure procedure (referencing the OSHA 1910.1030 model)
Implement and resource the CONTROLS through the full hierarchy — eliminate / substitute, engineering (shielding, ventilation, sharps-engineered devices, containment), administrative (time / distance, ALARA, work practices, precautions) — with PPE LAST, never first

The Living Plan and the Binder on the Shelf — An exposure-control plan only protects if it's LIVED: the administrator assesses the hazard, writes…
Assess the Hazard, Choose the Control — The whole program rests on two verbs: ASSESS the hazard, then CHOOSE the control.
Write It, Resource It, Train It — The three verbs that turn an assessment into a real program — WRITE the plan, RESOURCE the…
Monitor the Dose, Manage the Exposure — Monitoring is how you SEE an exposure you can't feel — dosimetry for radiation, health surveillance…
Review It — Keeping the Plan Alive — Review keeps the plan alive: it asks whether the hazard has changed, whether the controls got…

Common questions
How long does Exposure Control Plan Administrator take?
About 1 hour 15 minutes online, over 5 modules, at your own pace. It ends with a final test that needs 80% to pass.
How long is the Exposure Control Plan Administrator certificate valid?
One year from the day you pass. Orientra’s standard is for exposure-control program administration training to be reviewed at least annually and whenever the biological agents, the radiation sources, the tasks or the exposure-control program change — a new agent, source, procedure or piece of equipment, a change in the people or settings exposed, a new control, monitoring method or PPE requirement, a change in the law or the program, or a serious exposure incident all trigger a refresh.
