Radiation Safety Advice
Critical Examinations
A 'critical examination' (IRR17 reg 32) of safe operation is required to be carried out on newly installed equipment which generates X-rays, or houses a radioactive sealed source.
Radman Associates assist with the examination of installed equipment such as fill and level gauges, X-ray cabinets, inspection devices and any other devices employing sealed sources or X-rays. The examination is typically carried out during the commissioning stage to ensure that:
- All safety features operate correctly
- There is sufficient protection from exposure to ionising radiations
- Sufficient information is given to the customer
Critical examination reports summarise the outcome of testing all safety features and warning devices and a survey of radiation levels around the installed equipment.
