Radiation Protection Consultancy
Risk Assessments
Regulation 7 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 requires that all operations involving exposure to ionising radiation are subject to a formal risk assessment PRIOR to the activity commencing. The risk assessment should determine the engineered and procedural controls required to ensure compliance with duties specified in the Regulations. We can provide advice on the requirements of such assessments, undertake these risk assessments for you or assess the adequacy of your existing assessments.
Radiological Safety Audits
Regular critical auditing is essential to the maintenance of an effective radiation safety management system. Undertaking a formal, robust audit will not only identify areas for improvement but can also provide reassurance that areas are being adequately addressed and that controls remain effective.
Undertaking such an activity can be used to demonstrate a commitment to reviewing and maintaining the highest level of radiation safety for both staff and patients. Given our extensive experience in both the Nuclear and non-nuclear sectors, we are able to provide an accurate comparison between your operations and relevant industry best practice. Where improvements can reasonably be made we are able to recommend cost-effective solutions.
