Radiation in the Workplace Policy Writers
What are Radiation Policies?
Radiation in the workplace policies outline how organisations manage the risks associated with ionising and non-ionising radiation to protect employees, contractors and others who may be exposed.
These policies help businesses comply with the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) and the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016, ensuring that exposure is controlled and kept as low as reasonably practicable.
What Do Radiation in the Workplace Policies Cover?
A radiation policy typically includes:
-
Identification of sources of ionising and non-ionising radiation
-
Risk assessments to evaluate levels of exposure
-
Appointment of a Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) or Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) where required
-
Control measures such as shielding, restricted access and protective equipment
-
Monitoring and recording of exposure levels
-
Health surveillance and medical monitoring for affected employees
-
Training and awareness requirements for staff
-
Links to health and safety, PPE and incident reporting policies
A clear policy ensures that staff working with or around radiation understand the risks involved and the precautions required to minimise exposure.
It also provides assurance that the organisation is meeting its legal responsibilities, reducing the risk of enforcement action, claims or reputational damage.
Radiation risks are relevant in sectors such as healthcare, construction, laboratories, manufacturing and telecommunications. Without a structured approach, exposure could result in long-term health effects and business disruption.
By embedding clear procedures, training and monitoring, organisations can safeguard health, demonstrate compliance and maintain confidence among staff, regulators and stakeholders.
