OUR CAPABILITIES
Practical support for radiation protection.
From a single shielding review to ongoing safety-program advice, our services address radiation protection for patients, personnel, and the public.
Shielding Design & Review
Structural shielding calculations and independent design reviews for new rooms, renovations, and equipment changes, considering workload, occupancy, beam geometry, and barrier construction.
Explore our shielding estimatorRadiation Surveys
Area and workplace radiation surveys, leakage and scatter assessments, post-installation verification, and review of radiation protection controls for applicable imaging systems.
Patient & High-Dose Assessments
Technical evaluations of fluoroscopy dose indicators, high-dose interventions, peak skin dose estimates, and fetal exposure questions, with reporting and follow-up recommendations as appropriate.
Inspection & Compliance Support
Review of facility documentation, radiation safety procedures, corrective-action plans, and shielding or registration materials for applicable provincial and professional oversight programs.
CNSC & Radioactive-Material Programs
Technical planning and radiation protection support for eligible nuclear medicine, PET, and specialized veterinary or clinical radioisotope projects, including facility, monitoring, and radioactive-waste considerations.
CANADIAN REGULATORY CONTEXT
Guidance grounded in the right framework.
Radiation protection obligations depend on the province or territory, equipment, use, and whether nuclear substances are involved. We identify the appropriate framework for each engagement rather than applying a universal checklist.
Health Canada Safety Codes provide technical guidance; whether a particular provision is legally required depends on applicable legislation, regulations, licence conditions, and jurisdictional adoption. Regulatory approval is determined by the responsible authority.
Provincial X-ray requirements
Ontario HARP-related shielding, registration, and inspection considerations, plus relevant provincial or practice-specific requirements elsewhere in Canada.
Health Canada technical guidance
Applicable guidance such as Safety Codes 30, 35, and 36, considered in the context of the facility and its governing requirements.
CNSC-regulated activities
Radiation protection planning and documentation for activities involving nuclear substances or radiation devices, where CNSC oversight applies.
Site-specific implementation
Workload, occupancy, equipment, workflows, local policy, and measured conditions inform both the assessment and recommendations.
OUR PROCESS
From safety questions to practical action.
We provide focused scopes, clear technical reports, and an appropriate level of follow-up for single-site and multi-site programs.
Define the risk and scope
Review the facility, equipment, workflows, intended use, existing documents, and regulatory context.
Evaluate and document
Complete the calculations, surveys, technical review, or program assessment appropriate to the engagement.
Support implementation
Provide findings, prioritized recommendations, and guidance on verification or next steps.
