:: RADSAFE Responders

RADSAFE has evolved from a number of previous such plans. It is based on the requirements of the emergency services and draws on the principles of the national Chemsafe plan. These and other contingency arrangements are complemented by the National Arrangements for Incidents involving Radioactivity (NAIR).

The aim of the training course is to increase awareness of:

the types of materials transported by members of the RADSAFE consortium;
the actions that may be required to ensure personal protection of RADSAFE members responding to the accident; and
providing advice for the protection of the public and emergency services in the event of an accident.
