Infraspection Institute’s Director, Jim Seffrin, had this to say: “We are very excited by the launch of our new course. Written by our highly experienced team of Master Thermographers, Infrared Body Temperature Screening, is applicable to all brands of thermal imaging systems and teaches imaging protocols that meet ISO and US FDA requirements as well as industry best practices.”
At the heart of thermal imaging are special cameras that detect and display thermal patterns and temperatures across the surface of an object or being. Also known as infrared cameras, thermal imagers are completely passive and emit no harmful radiation. Worldwide, thermal imaging is used on a daily basis to inspect a wide variety of systems and structures for hidden defects. It also is used by healthcare professionals to aid in the treatment of their patients.
Infrared Body Temperature Screening is a five unit course that teaches students how to utilize a thermal imager as a rapid screening tool for persons entering a facility. The course covers the topics of infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation and selection, current regulations, standards compliance, screening area setup and procedures, adjunctive equipment, and safety issues. The course is designed for program managers and for operators of infrared body temperature screening systems.
