Radiation Experts

Our highly qualified radiation experts provide professional, knowledgeable, practical and cost-effective advice, supported by a friendly, conscientious admin team.

SG&A believe in investing in the future and our current certificated Radiation Protection Professionals are committed to preparing and guiding our trainees to obtain their full certifications.
Before joining us, the RPAs have worked in laboratories, hospital, veterinary, university and industrial fields, which allows them a greater understanding when giving practical and practicable advice.

SG&A’s affiliation with other certificated and experienced associates within the field of radiation protection also broadens our ability to provide expert specialist opinions.

Training

Current legislation requires employers to ensure that all staff working with ionising radiation are adequately and appropriately trained, and each site is required to have at least one radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS).

Whether the training required is at a basic user level, or for an RPS, whether using x-ray or isotopes, SG&A can provide the course for you. We provide regular scheduled courses and can also tailor individual bespoke courses for your company’s needs.

In light of the pandemic, our regular scheduled courses that were either at our training hub in Norfolk or at company’s site, have been adapted and are currently being delivered on-line as interactive Teams courses. We hope to be able to give companies a choice for how and where courses are delivered again in the future.

Why do I need a Radiation Expert?

UK Legislation – The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17), The Ionising Radiations (Medical Exposures) Regulations 2017 (IR(ME)R17), and The Environmental Permitting Regulations 2018 (EPR18), state that any company working with sources of ionising radiation (x-rays and radioactive isotopes) have a legal responsibility to appoint a suitable RPA, RWA, MPE or a combination of these.
