Radiation Safety and Control Services

With our radiation safety services, you can ensure you have the proper licensing for radioactive materials, participate in annual ALARA assessments, and dispose of radioactive materials safely.

We have decades of experience within the health and safety industry, and our radiation control specialists have the skills required to equip businesses to regulate sources of ionizing radiation, including radioactive materials and X-ray machines, to avoid radiation injury to members of the public, radiation workers, and the environment.

How the SP Group Can Help Reduce Radiation Exposure

At The SP Group, we follow the three principles of radiation protection:

Justification: the appreciation for the benefits and risks of using radiation for procedures or treatments.

Optimization: steps taken to ensure that patient or employee exposure is minimized to the greatest extent necessary.

Dose Limitation: following the ALARA principle, ensuring that the benefits of the exposure outweigh the risks and striving to minimize radiation exposure as much as possible while staying below the dose limits.


Here are several ways to apply these principles to keep your business safe when dealing with radioactive materials:

Time limits

Limit the time spent near a radiation source, for example, by allowing workers to work around radioactive materials for only part of an 8-hour shift.

Distance

Be mindful of your proximity to a radiation source. For instance, barrels of radioactive waste could emit a dose of 20 millirem (mrem) per hour when one foot away from the surface, but less than 1 mrem per hour when standing 5 feet away.
distance from radioactive materials is critical to ensuring safety

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent skin contamination from particulate radiation and to prevent inhalation of radioactive materials.

Only When Necessary

Only use ionizing radiation for necessary medical purposes, disease treatment, or guided procedures.
