Investigate incidents involving ionising radiation protection to root cause without suppressing reporting.
Building Protection Protocols Against Ionising Radiation in Laboratories
A structured, applied course in ionising radiation protection — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Regulators judge ionising radiation protection on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. A procedure for this aspect of occupational health and safety that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Participants who influence the occupational health and safety capability without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The course sets out a working method for ionising radiation protection that participants can apply the week they return. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the practice within occupational health and safety that were visible long before the incident. They leave able to brief senior management on this aspect of occupational health and safety in terms that support a decision. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for ionising radiation protection as they go. Improvement in the occupational health and safety discipline stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants leave with a plan for this part of occupational health and safety sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Translate policy on ionising radiation protection into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.
Integrate ionising radiation protection into the management of change process.
Integrate ionising radiation protection into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Carry out a structured risk assessment of ionising radiation protection and rank findings by consequence.
Audit the application of controls on ionising radiation protection in the field, not on paper.
Reduce avoidable variation in how ionising radiation protection is carried out across teams.

Course Modules
Ionising radiation protection: protective equipment and its verification
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Reviewing ionising radiation protection when nothing has gone wrong
- Rank the weaknesses in ionising radiation protection by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Set the review interval for ionising radiation protection and who attends.
- Set leading indicators for ionising radiation protection that predict rather than count.
- Investigate the last incident involving ionising radiation protection to root cause, not to immediate cause.
Session 2Rescue arrangements for ionising radiation protection that have been rehearsed
- Map the handovers in ionising radiation protection between functions and secure them.
- Audit application of ionising radiation protection controls at the workface.
- Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on ionising radiation protection.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in ionising radiation protection short and non-punitive.
Ionising radiation protection: procedures, permits and practical controls
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Building the method for ionising radiation protection step by step
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for ionising radiation protection, do not just publish it.
- Verify permits covering ionising radiation protection are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for ionising radiation protection.
- Estimate the resource ionising radiation protection requires to run as designed.
Session 2What has to be agreed before work on ionising radiation protection starts
- Agree the indicators that will show whether ionising radiation protection is improving.
- Identify where judgement in ionising radiation protection is legitimate and where it is not.
- Remove steps in ionising radiation protection that add effort without adding assurance.
- Build the competence framework that supports ionising radiation protection.
Ionising radiation protection: competence, authorisation and supervision
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Writing a procedure for ionising radiation protection people can follow at 3 a.m.
- Check that records of ionising radiation protection answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about ionising radiation protection.
- Test that protective equipment specified for ionising radiation protection fits and is maintained.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates ionising radiation protection is under control.
Session 2Investigating an incident involving ionising radiation protection without hunting for blame
- Assess long-term health exposure created by ionising radiation protection and arrange surveillance.
- Identify the hazards in ionising radiation protection and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
- Agree the smallest change to ionising radiation protection that would be visibly useful.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in ionising radiation protection.
Ionising radiation protection: occupational health and long-term exposure
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who is competent to work on ionising radiation protection, and how you know
- Close out corrective actions on ionising radiation protection with a named owner and date.
- Set out the decisions in ionising radiation protection that require sign-off and by whom.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in ionising radiation protection is current.
- Confirm that controls on ionising radiation protection sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
Session 2Auditing ionising radiation protection in the field rather than in the file
- Record who is authorised to work on ionising radiation protection and when authorisation expires.
- Ask the people doing ionising radiation protection what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Reduce the variation in how ionising radiation protection is carried out between teams.
- Test the procedure for ionising radiation protection against a realistic scenario.
