Afternoon All,

After several years of utilising a specific external RPA service I am now looking for a new service provider that covers the Stafford, Staffordshire area.

If any of you utilise an RPA service in my area could you, if you are happy to do so, offer recommendations please?

Regards

Hi Jamo

Might get a better response if you give an indication of the reasons why you need an RPA.

So what sort of radiation source and what sort of processes?

There's a huge difference between what is needed to be competent to advise on working with e.g. an X-ray machine in a hospital when compared to e.g. site radiography in the middle of nowhere.

Hi Peter,

That's a good point, thanks. 

It is only for an XRF Analyser that we use for PMI analysis.

So it’s “only” a hand held x-ray source; the HSE love those so much that they  clamping down on them a bit.  We use Paul Attenborough paul@northernrpa.co.uk for this sort of thing.
