A radiation management plan provides the safety map for any organisation which utilises radiation within their practices. Many industries use radiation for precision detection, measurement and quality control applications. Additionally, a radiation management plan must be in place for any organisation involved in the safe transport and storage of radiation. This would be applicable for dangerous goods transport providers and for any organisation whose employees work with or around radiation in the field.

Radiation management plans detail the important information relevant to the practices performed and the guidelines which must be followed to ensure the protection of people and the environment. It is important that the radiation management plan layout be one which allows for information to be located quickly and ensures that priority information such as safety procedures and emergency contacts are designated clearly and are easily accessible. And that all regulatory requirements are satisfied, within the scope of the nuances within your organisation, site infrastructure and source specifications.

The regulatory framework within which your radiation practice must operate is extensive and can be helpful to have the assistance of a radiation consultant. Having a vast experience working within the radiation industry and providing radiation safety services, Nuclear Australia is a leader in the design and provision of radiation management plans.
