Radiographer Level IIC Services at Scruples Resources

MAIN FUNCTIONS

• Perform industrial radiographic testing (RT) of welds, castings, forgings, piping, pressure vessels, structural components, and other equipment to detect internal defects.
• Operate X-ray and gamma-ray radiography equipment in accordance with approved procedures and applicable safety requirements.
• Review radiographic testing procedures, drawings, inspection requirements, and acceptance criteria before commencing examinations.
• Select appropriate radiographic techniques, exposure parameters, source types, films, digital detectors, and image quality indicators (IQIs) for the examination.
• Set up and position radiographic equipment, source, film, detectors, and accessories accurately to obtain quality radiographs.
• Establish and control restricted areas, warning signs, barriers, and radiation safety measures during radiographic operations.
• Conduct radiographic examinations and ensure exposures are performed safely and in accordance with approved techniques.
• Process, develop, or digitally acquire radiographic images and evaluate image quality for acceptability.
• Interpret radiographs to identify discontinuities such as cracks, porosity, inclusions, lack of fusion, lack of penetration, and other weld or material defects.
• Compare radiographic indications against applicable codes, standards, specifications, and acceptance criteria.
• Maintain accurate records of radiographic examinations, exposure details, source identification, locations, results, and equipment used.
• Prepare radiographic reports and communicate examination results to QA/QC inspectors, engineers, clients, and relevant project personnel.
• Ensure radiation sources, exposure devices, X-ray equipment, survey meters, dosimeters, and associated accessories are properly inspected and maintained.
• Perform radiation surveys before, during, and after exposures as required to confirm safe working conditions.
• Monitor personal radiation exposure and ensure dosimetry requirements are followed.
• Report equipment defects, abnormal radiation readings, safety incidents, and non-conformances immediately.
• Maintain traceability of radiographs, test locations, weld numbers, components, and inspection records.
• Support other NDT activities and coordinate with welding, fabrication, inspection, and QA/QC teams as required.
• Ensure all radiographic activities comply with applicable NDT standards, radiation protection regulations, client requirements, and HSE procedures.
