Radiation and Laser Safety

A 3-page summary based on the Radiation Safety Manual and Laser Safety and NORM Management Guidelines to detail the processes for workers and researchers to procure, store, maintain and dispose of non-exempt radioactive substances, nuclear material, high powered lasers, X-ray or neutron emitting apparatus, and UV transilluminators.

More information on management of radiation at Curtin is available in our Manuals and Guides section.

In the event of a radiation incident or emergency, please call for assistance using the numbers shown in the contacts section.

Curtin workers who work with x-ray machines, neutron generators, or radioactive substances are monitored for exposure to ionising radiation.

Radiation equipment cannot be used until registered and appropriate licensing obtained.

Use of radiation at Curtin is managed through radiation project applications.

The application process involves a number of steps to ensure that health and safety hazards are properly managed. Please
