Radiation is invisible.
Protection shouldn't be.

RadSafe applies Monte Carlo radiation-transport modelling, dosimetry and regulatory expertise to keep people safe around ionising radiation — from a dental X-ray room to a mine processing NORM.

Understand the invisible

Three ways radiation moves through a room

The X-ray room below shows a diagnostic unit in use. Select a mode to see the three distinct concepts every protection design must handle.

Primary beam

The intended, collimated X-ray beam travelling from the tube's focal spot, through the patient, to the image detector. Only this beam is useful for imaging; everything else must be controlled.

Protection principle: keep the primary beam collimated to the anatomy of interest — never wider than needed.

Explore the room

Every element has a safety purpose

Select an object in the 3D room — or use the buttons below — to understand its role in radiation protection.

Select an object

Choose any object above (or click it in the 3D room) to learn what it does and the radiation-safety principle behind it.

Keyboard and screen-reader users: the buttons above are a complete alternative to the 3D scene — no object information is only in the 3D view.

Protection by design

Shielding is a calculation, not a guess

A diagnostic X-ray room is protected by specific barriers. Shielding effectiveness depends on the radiation energy, workload, room geometry, and the material and thickness of each barrier — never a single universal number.

Wall

Walls are the principal barrier in the path of the primary beam and scatter. Their required construction is determined by the equipment's energy, the workload (exposures per week), the distance to the wall, and whether the adjacent area is occupied.

Shielding is never a single fixed thickness — it is derived from the specific room and workload. A professional assessment is required to determine it correctly.

Occupational Monitoring

Worker dosimetry, quarterly dose reviews and record management.

Typical need: staff who work with X-ray equipment.
🎓

Radiation Safety Training

Radiation protection awareness and induction for dental and medical staff, with CPD.

Typical need: staff induction and annual refreshers.
📁

Regulatory Documentation

Licence applications, renewals and inspection preparation, prepared by a qualified radiation scientist.

Typical need: a licence application or renewal.
🔍

Compliance Reviews

Gap analysis against regulatory requirements, with a prioritised action plan.

Typical need: an audit or regulator inspection.
🗂️

Records Management

Maintaining audit-ready radiation safety records over time.

Licence Renewal Support

End-to-end two-year renewal support, including the RSO role.

Typical need: a licence approaching expiry.
From assessment to assurance

The compliance journey

Radiation compliance is a continuous cycle, not a one-off filing.

1 · Initial Assessment

Review of the facility, equipment, staff and current status against requirements.
