Local Rules

The Ionising Radiations Regulations require, in certain circumstances, safety procedures to be written down. More information about these local rules and model sets of local rules can be found on this page.

The Ionising Radiations Regulations require, in certain circumstances, safety procedures to be written down. These are called 'Local Rules'. Certain items must be included, as prescribed by the regulations.

The RPU has drafted 'Model Local Rules' to to help direct local PI’s, supervisors and line managers in what is required. They are in Word format, therefore they can be donwloaded and adapted as appropriate.

Further model sets will be produced with time.
