Radiation Protection and Radiation Protection Officers

Radiation protection requires specialist knowledge, clear lines of responsibility and the reliable implementation of regulatory requirements in day-to-day operations.

Request advice on radiation protection officers

When deploying staff at third-party sites and controlled areas, radiation protection, regulatory compliance and reliable organisation are key requirements. Companies operating at third-party nuclear facilities or other third-party sites must meet numerous requirements set out in the Radiation Protection Act and the Radiation Protection Regulations. These include, amongst other things, the appointment of suitable radiation protection officers, compliance with licensing requirements, and the organisation of dosimetry, radiation exposure records and training.

We provide radiation protection officers with the required S5 specialist qualification and guide you through all relevant steps, from obtaining authorisation to operational implementation. Furthermore, we provide support with authorisations under Sections 12 and 25 of the Radiation Protection Act (StrlSchG) as well as with compliance with statutory requirements during day-to-day operations.
