From single room shielding to a whole hospital, we can design a shielding solution so that it is safe and affordable. Getting this done by an expert may save you a considerable amount of money on unnecessary shielding.

We have many years experience in radiation shielding and radiation consulting services on major projects including the Queensland Children's Hospital and Metro North Hospital redevelopment located in Brisbane.

We offer professional radiation consulting & training to staff to ensure you are meeting your obligations under your approved Radiation Safety and Protection / Radiation Management Plan.

In addition, we provide independent auditing of your facilities' radiation safety practices to help ensure you will pass an audit by the radiation Regulatory Authority. We can provide full RSO services for your company if required, please contact us for a proposal.

Furthermore, we can develop or assist you in developing your Radiation Safety and Protection Plan / Radiation Management Plan to help ensure it will gain Regulatory approval.

WHAT IS NORM?

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) consist of materials, usually industrial wastes or by-products, enriched with radioactive elements found in the environment, such as uranium, thorium and potassium and any of their decay products, such as radium and radon.

Natural radioactive elements are present in very low concentrations in Earth's crust, and are brought to the surface through human activities such as oil and gas exploration or mining, and through natural processes like leakage of radon gas to the atmosphere or through dissolution in ground water. 

Exposure to naturally occurring radiation is responsible for the majority of an average person’s yearly radiation dose and is therefore not usually considered of any special health or safety significance. However certain industries handle significant quantities of NORM, which usually ends up in their waste streams. Over time, as potential NORM hazards have been identified, these industries have increasingly become subject to monitoring and regulation.  

HOW CAN WE HELP?

We can survey your facility to identify if you have a NORM issue and assist with processes and controls to help you manage it. Areas we specialise in are:

- Survey of site for NORM detection

- Radiation Safety Consultancy Services

- Preparation of radiation management plan 

- Monitoring and clearance of plant and equipment during cleaning campaigns 

- Decontamination and waste management

Our consulting services include, but are not limited to:

​- Radiation consulting

-  Patient dosimetry

-  Patient dose optimisation  

-  Staff dose estimations

-  Radiation dose and risk assessments for research studies utilising ionising radiation - required under a National Code of Practice

-  Radiation incident investigation and reporting

- Room shielding advice

- X-ray compliance testing

​These services can only be carried out by a qualified Medical Physicist. Ensure your workplace meets the relevant radiation safety legislation by engaging a specialist. Call us to discuss your radiation consulting requirements or for an obligation free quote and advice.
