Radiation Protection Supervisor Training Course
Become a certified RPS and ensure your workplace meets UK regulatory compliance under IRR17. Comprehensive 2-day training course for professionals responsible for radiation safety supervision.
The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) mandates that employers working with ionising radiation must appoint suitable Radiation Protection Supervisors (RPS) to supervise work with ionising radiation and ensure compliance with local rules and safety procedures. An RPS is your frontline defence against radiation hazards and regulatory non-compliance.
Under IRR17, every employer working with ionising radiation must appoint a competent Radiation Protection Supervisor.
RPS personnel ensure day-to-day radiation safety compliance and protect staff from unnecessary exposure.
An RPS reassures staff and regulators that radiation risks are actively managed along with making responsibility clear.

What Is an RPA & Why You Need One
Understanding Radiation Protection Advisers and their legal obligations in the UK.
What is a Radiation Protection Adviser?
A Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) is a certified expert who provides specialist advice on compliance with the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17), Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 (EPR16), and Environmental Authorisations (Scotland) Regulations 2018 (EA(S)R18). RPAs help organisations safely manage ionising radiation in medical, industrial, research, nuclear and veterinary settings.
Legal Obligations Under UK Law
Under UK radiation safety legislation, organisations using ionising radiation must consult with a certified RPA to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. This is not optional—it's a legal requirement designed to protect workers, the public, and the environment from radiation hazards.
- IRR17: Requires risk assessments, dose monitoring, and designation of controlled areas
- EPR16 & EA(S)R18: Mandate environmental permits and authorisations for radioactive substances
Need expert guidance? Our certified RPAs provide comprehensive support to help you understand and meet all your legal obligations for radiation protection in the UK.

A Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) provides expert advice on compliance with UK radiation safety legislation including IRR17, EPR16, and EA(S)R18. They conduct risk assessments, advise on controlled area designation, develop local rules, provide dose monitoring support, and ensure your organisation meets all legal obligations for radiation protection.
Every employer engaged in working with ionising radiation must consult such suitable radiation protection advisers as are necessary for the purpose of advising the employer on the observance of these regulations and must, in any event, consult one or more suitable radiation protection advisers with regard to the matters set out in Schedule 4.
Yes! We provide RPA services across all sectors including medical (hospitals, clinics, dental practices), industrial (NDT, gauging, nuclear, radiography), research (universities, laboratories), and veterinary practices. Our certified advisers have extensive experience across diverse applications of ionising radiation.
Our compliance audits include a thorough review of your radiation safety procedures, controlled area designations, local rules, dynamic risk assessments, dose records, equipment condition, staff training records, and emergency procedures. We provide a detailed report with findings and actionable recommendations for maintaining or improving compliance.
RPA service costs vary based on the scope and complexity of your requirements. We offer transparent pricing and can provide a detailed quote following an initial consultation. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your specific needs and receive a tailored proposal.
A dynamic risk assessment (DRA) is the continuous process of identifying, evaluating, and managing hazards in real-time as a situation develops.
While a traditional risk assessment is a written document prepared in advance, a dynamic risk assessment is a mental "on-the-spot" check used by workers when they encounter unpredictable or rapidly changing environments.
