NDT Industrial Radiography HSE Authorisation?

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would be grateful if you could clarify if the HSE gave the appropriate authorisation and the dates of this authorisation under The Ionising Radiation Regulations for NDT industrial radiography to take place at Rayden Engineering Ltd, Wentworth House, Wentworth Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, DE7 5TF, on and between the dates of 3 - 13 August 2009 and the precise dates in which the NDT industrial radiography took place.

I would also be grateful if you could clarify if regular assessment records and radiation dose recordings to detect the presence of sky line was also carried out and if so, the dates and a copy of those recordings.

I would also like to know the precise location on Rayden Engineering Ltd premises where the NDT industrial radiography took place as I understand from IRR99 Regulation 8 that adequate shielding in and around a suitable enclosure should also have been in place during this procedure.

Yours faithfully,

Diane Charlton

Health and Safety Executive

Dear Ms Charlton,

Freedom of Information Request Reference No: 2009080344

Thank you for your request for information about:

NDT Industrial Radiography - HSE Authorisation

Your request was received on 14/8/2009 and I am dealing with it under the
terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act).

You asked about authorisations under the Ionising Radiations Regulations
in respect of industrial radiography taking place at Rayden Engineering
Ltd, Wentworth House, Wentworth Street, Ilkeston, DE7 5TF from 3 - 13
August 2009.

I can confirm that the Health and Safety Executive holds the following
information:

Under the requirements of Regulation 6(3) and (4) of the Ionising
Radiations Regulations 1999 all site radiography companies are obliged
to notify HSE on each and every occasion they carry out site
radiography. Site radiography refers to work that cannot be carried out
in a suitable shielded enclosure either because the item to be
radiographed is too large to fit into such an enclosure or it is
integral to the plant on site and cannot be removed. The notification
needs to be made at least 7 days in advance of the work taking place.
HSE has a dedicated team to deal with such notifications.

I can confirm that HSE did not receive any site radiography
notifications for work to be carried out at the Rayden Engineering Ltd's
Ilkeston premises during the month of August 2009. As a consequence we
have not visited the site during this time and have not, therefore,
examined any of the records referred to in your request.

This information can be disclosed.

which the information originated. You must ensure that you gain their

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please

If you are unhappy with the decisions made by HSE you may ask for an
internal review within two calendar months of the date of this letter by
writing to me.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review you have

decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
