Commencing Work with Non-ionising Radiations 4.1 Prior notification to the Laser Protection Adviser (LPA) The Head of Department shall notify the LPA of an intention to commence new work or to make changes to an existing work practice with non-ionising radiation in sufficient time for the work to be reviewed by the LPA and for the mandatory requirements below to be executed. 4.2 Prior risk assessment The LPA shall prepare a specific prior risk assessment. This shall be used to classify sources of non-ionising radiation as low risk, medium risk and high risk. Risk assessments for high risk devices shall be reviewed annually at audit. Risk assessments for medium and low risk devices shall be reviewed every three years. 4.3 Designation of areas Based on the prior risk assessment, the LPA shall advise on the need to control areas where work with non-ionising radiation is undertaken. 4.4 Laser Protection Supervisor (LPS), local rules and contingency plans Departments with laser controlled areas shall have local rules in place and one or more appointed Laser Protection Supervisors to ensure that the local rules are adhered to. Staff working with non-ionising radiation shall sign that they understand and will abide by the local rules The Head of Department shall ensure that contingency plans are in place for dealing with emergencies involving high risk non-ionising radiation. These plans shall be outlined in 4
5 the department s local rules. Staff shall be aware of contingency plans and these shall be rehearsed at suitable intervals. 4.5 Prior authorisation and training Staff shall not undertake work with non-ionising radiation unless they are suitably qualified and trained and have received prior written authorisation to do so by the Head of Department The Head of Department shall set out the requisite education and training requirements for the particular role, which shall include suitable training in non-ionising radiation protection. 5. Staff Responsibilities 5.1 Any employee working with non-ionising radiation shall: Not knowingly expose himself or any other person to non-ionising radiation to an extent greater than is reasonably necessary for the purposes of his work. Abide by the departmental local rules and work instructions. Make full and proper use of any personal protective equipment supplied by the employer. Report to the Trust, via the Head of Department and/or LPS, any defect in personal protective equipment. Ensure that personal protective equipment is correctly stored. Comply with any reasonable requirement for dose assessment. Notify the Trust, via the Head of Department and/or LPS, if he/she has reason to believe he/she has received an overexposure. Notify the Trust, via the Head of Department and/or LPS, of any radiation incident or accident involving staff, visitors or patients. 6. Use of Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) 6.1 Duties of staff Staff shall wear the PPE provided in accordance with the local rules and/or work instructions for the controlled area in which they are working. Staff shall not stand behind other members of staff in the controlled area without wearing PPE Refusal to wear personal protective equipment when it is a requirement of the local rules is an offence contrary to Section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act and will be treated as a disciplinary offence by the Trust Proper storage of safety glasses and visors is important to maintain the optical transmission integrity. Glasses and visors should be kept in a safe location, where they will not be excessively scratched or damaged. Where protective cases for eye protection are provided, they should be used. 6.2 When to wear PPE Staff and observers who cannot remain outside the controlled area shall wear appropriate PPE in accordance with the Local Rules for the room/theatre. If PPE is not worn, then they shall be told to leave the room. 5
6 6.3 Labeling and checking PPE Where there are several different sources of non-ionising radiation within a department, each item of PPE should be labeled to clearly indicate the source with which it should be used. Members of the department who use non-ionising sources and PPE are responsible for checking for damage to PPE and notifying the LPS in the event of any damage being found. In high risk areas where audits and testing are carried out, PPE will be checked on an annual basis by a member of Radiation Protection. If any replacement PPE or new PPE is obtained the LPS is responsible for contacting the LPA to ensure that it is suitable. 7. Management of non-ionising Radiation Equipment 7.1 All the following paragraphs are applicable to equipment intended for medical exposures. Other equipment that emits non-ionising radiation but which is not intended for medical exposure is subject to paragraphs 5.1 and Procurement of Equipment If a department intends to purchase, hire or otherwise obtain equipment that emits non-ionising radiation, the Head of Department must be satisfied that it is suitable and appropriate for the purpose for which it will be used.
