Working with radioactive materials is a highly regulated field, whereby expert knowledge of regulations and compliance are crucial. Radiation mismanagement can expose companies and projects to many risks, including health and safety, community, environmental and business risks. Like any other hazard, the right management and monitoring practices greatly mitigate the level of risk.

The main issue is being able to identify that radiation is a risk at your facility, coupled with a shortage of understanding, skills or knowledge, as opposed to the inherent risk of radiation and radioactive sources.

This gap in industry is the reason that RPA was formed. The formation of the company brought together a wide range of expertise from industry, academia and government that form the basis of our expert consulting group today. We are now a complete lifecycle radiation service provider to industry, a trusted partner and advisor.

We have developed a unique three-tiered approach to industry with our affiliated partner companies through the provision of Dangerous Goods logistics and transport (DG Air), Radiation safety consultation and service provision (RPA) and instrumentation design and innovation (Petritek).
