Radiological protection (RPO)

Comprehensive support of a radiological protection officer (RPO) — wherever devices generating ionizing radiation operate or isotope sources are present.

The Radiological Protection Officer (RPO/IOR) is the key person responsible for overseeing radiological safety within an organisation. Our services cover comprehensive support in protection against ionising radiation — from preparing documentation, through employee training, to participating in National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) inspections. We ensure compliance with the applicable Atomic Law and radiological safety standards.

Radiological Protection Officer

Where is a radiological protection officer (RPO) needed?

A licence to act as a Radiological Protection Officer within an organisation is required wherever devices generating ionising radiation operate — such as X-ray tubes, spectrometers or flash lamps — and wherever isotope sources are present (industrial radiography, smoke detectors).

Under the applicable Atomic Law, every organisation conducting activities involving exposure to ionising radiation requires the appropriate authorisation, notification or registration. In many cases, RPO supervision of radiological protection within the organisation is mandatory.

Legal requirements

RPO duties under the atomic law

The atomic law imposes specific obligations on organisations that use ionising radiation.

Where is a radiological protection officer (RPO) needed?

Wherever devices generating ionizing radiation operate (X-ray tubes, spectrometers, flash lamps) and where isotope sources are present (industrial radiography, smoke detectors).

Is an RPO required in the workplace?

Under atomic law, organizations conducting activities involving ionizing radiation require authorization, notification or registration. In many cases RPO supervision of radiological protection is mandatory.

Required radiological documentation

Every organisation must hold up-to-date facility documentation, a Quality Assurance Programme, an Emergency Response Plan and workshop regulations. The RPO is responsible for preparing and updating all of these documents in line with PAA requirements.

National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) inspections

The PAA carries out regular inspections of organisations that use ionising radiation. The presence of a qualified RPO during an inspection is mandatory. Our officers represent your company during inspections and ensure full compliance with atomic law regulations.

How we work

The RPO implementation process at your company

A simple, transparent path — from first contact to full radiological supervision.

01

Initial audit

We assess the current state of radiological documentation, the devices and radiation sources in use, and compliance with applicable PAA regulations.

02

Documentation preparation

We develop or update the full set of documents: Quality Assurance Programme, Emergency Response Plan, workshop regulations and procedures.

03

Employee training

We run radiological protection training for all employees exposed to ionising radiation, in accordance with legal requirements.

04

Ongoing RPO supervision

We provide ongoing supervision of radiological protection, perform dosimetric measurements, monitor individual doses and represent the company during PAA inspections.
