Can anyone advise me on the requirements of a C3 controlled radiation contamination area or point me in the right direction. We are quoting some work in a C3 area and have classified workers but I'm not sure of the requirements for C3.
Cheers

get your RPA to advise - if you have not got one I cannot see how you can do this work?

I believe I am correct in saying C1, C2, C3, and C4 controlled areas are unique to the Nuclear Sector
I would suggest you have a word the HSE Nuclear Directorate if you have not already done so.
Also you would need to consult with a RPA

Andy,
A C3 contamination controlled area is one that has a significant airborne contamination hazard as well as a surface contamination hazard. The actual levels will depend on the organisation and the location that you are dealing with. Most organisations are reluctant to allow non-classified persons to enter C3 areas for all but the most trivial of tasks due to the potential to receive an internal dose.
Hope this helps.
Kevin

Sorry, I didn't read the question properly.
Typically, entrants to C3 areas will wear RPE (full face respirators) plus PPE (coveralls, overshoes, gloves, etc) but this will depend on organisation and location.
