Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) & RPS Training Services
We are an established, significant and unique provider of Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) services for all users of ionising radiation. We operate mostly in the UK providing radiation protection advice to industry, commerce, regulators, museums, universities and schools.
We offer independent professional advice, and as a 'non RPA Body', you will always be advised by a fully certificated RPA.
Radiation Protection Adviser for a broad range of sources
In the UK we provide advice to clients who range from the smallest to the largest users of ionising radiation. Our advice covers x-ray sources of all energy types (i.e. research machines, quality assurance systems, baggage security systems, cargo scanners, sterilisation / industrial processing, linacs and synchrotrons). We are usually appointed under the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 (IRR99) which defines the matters for which we must be consulted.
Our advice for radioactive material users ranges from the small school source to the highest activity sources (i.e. radiometric gauges, nuclear research reactors, gamma irradiation facilities). Our advice therefore also covers the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010, the Radioactive Substances Act 1993 (in Scotland) and transport regulations. We also provide RPA advice for users of NORM (naturally occuring radioactive materials).
Practical Radiation Protection Services
To complement our advisory role Ionactive also provides the complete range of practical services including radiation and contamination monitoring, onsite gamma spectrometry, leak testing, risk assessment, contingency planning, monitor testing, critical examinations and decommissioning support.
Radiation Safety Training
We run 2-day residential Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) training courses. Taking employees out of their normal working environment, and placing them with other likeminded RPS's in the making, works perfectly in our exemplary residential setting. This ensures your employee ‘fits the RPS role’ rather than forcing the role to fit the workplace.
