H09 - Radiation at Work

The presence of radiation on sites is somewhat rare; where it is present, however, it needs to be correctly managed.

The Radiation Procedure covers the management and control of radiation in the workplace. It gives guidance on the different types of radiation and how they affect the human body. There is a section on ionising and non-ionising radiation. Additionally, there is advice on what both the employer and employee need to do when working with products which emit radiation.
