- Reduce exposure in the workplace to the lowest practically achievable levels.
- Notify the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
- Appoint an independent radiation protection advisor (RPA).
Further legislation applies to museums with significant radioactive object collections. Consult an RPA for advice in how to comply with legislation.
