[en] Radioisotopes find many applications in the industrial field. As the use of radioisotopes is associated with potential health hazard, to workers and public, it is necessary to develop suitable manpower capable of handling radiation sources in a safe manner. This is brought about through different training programmes arranged by the Radiological Physics Division, Radiation Protection Services Division and Isotope Division of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. The contents of these programmes are covered in this paper. (author). 2 tabs
