  • Understanding and applying the Ionising Radiations Regulations (IRR17) can be challenging, with many organisations unsure how to meet every legal requirement effectively.

  • Finding certified Radiation Protection Advisors who are available and have the right levels of experience can be difficult, resulting in compliance and project delays.

  • When incidents occur, immediate access to expert RPA support is critical, yet many organisations lack dependable on-call support.

  • Finding RPAs with hands-on experience across multiple sectors can be difficult, leaving organisations without the specialist insight needed for unique or complex projects.
