Aurora Health Physics provided support to the University of Nottingham during a period between appointments. The experience and knowledge of Aurora, and the ability to provide a person to act as a point of contact and support ‘on the ground’ at the University for several months was invaluable. Aurora have provided support to the University in an RPA / RWA capacity for a while - but the ability to provide a member of staff two days a week was vital. Joel quickly became a member of the Health and Safety team, and during the months he was acting RPO for the University provided competent, pragmatic, and succinct radiation safety advice on a complex range of radiation topics.

I attended a one-day presentation given by Aurora in November 2016 and found it to be an invaluable refresher and opportunity to review and update my own knowledge whilst also meet with like-minded professionals.

The material was presented by Aurora personnel, and they demonstrated a good depth of knowledge not only in their own material, but particularly in responding to questions and topics raised by the delegates.

It was refreshing to come at this topic from the perspective of health and safety management, this gave the opportunity to explore ideas that incorporated the user perspective whilst also integrating readily into health and safety management systems. This course is suitable for, and relevant to, health and safety managers with and without radiation expertise!

In addition to the RPA service provided to us by Aurora, we have also utilised their Radioactive Waste Adviser (RWA), Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) and Radiation Protection Training services and have been delighted with the quality of the services provided.

The appointed RPAs have essentially become an integral part of the radiation protection framework at Able and are often required to assist Able staff in dealing with technically challenging situations. We have found that the RPAs have an excellent knowledge of the legal requirements, especially in relation to that which Enforcing Authorities require for compliance. They have often taken the lead to ensure that corrective actions are completed on time and in the most efficient manner. The attention to detail of the RPAs is also appreciated by Able.

We have recently utilised Aurora in providing radiation protection training courses to our clients. Our clients have often commented on how impressed they have been with the Aurora team, both technically and personally, during the courses, such that Aurora has provided the same high level of service we require from our own staff when dealing with clients.

Able has no hesitation in recommending Aurora to other organisations and it endorses Aurora's declaration that it is the leading provider of radiation protection services in the UK.

Aurora Health Physics Services has provided us with radiation protection advice for over 10 years, supporting our surveys on former military sites and nuclear establishments. They have also provided our staff with training and support in understanding the hazards and safe system of work when sources of radiation may have been present.

Always thorough and with an intimate knowledge of relevant legislation, Aurora health physics have frequently integrated into our team to help deliver workable solutions for the successful development of what would otherwise be difficult sites.
