Radiation Legislation
The Radiation Protection Act and Regulation protect workers who may be exposed to sources of radiation while installing, operating or servicing certain types of radiation equipment. The legislation applies to users of x-ray equipment and some lasers. Owners of this equipment are required to have it inspected and registered. The radiation legislation also specifies maximum exposure limits for radiation and the need to have radiation workers monitor their personal exposure to ionizing radiation.
For information on what types of radiation equipment require inspection and registration, and the description of this process, see Radiation Agencies and Organizations.
