Posted By Russell Wilkinson I am currently reviewing a health & Safety questionaire,and it is asking for RAZHAZ-does anybody know what this means? It is for an MOD site.

Posted By peter gotch Russell, A guess, but I think it might be equivalent of rail sector RAMS Reliability, availability, maintainability, safety Regards, Peter

Posted By Richie Russell, I am a Safety Adviser at an MOD Airstation. I have never heard of RAZHAZ, therefore I feel the issue concerns RADHAZ. In the MOD RADHAZ pertains to Radiation Hazards. This is a pretty specialised discipline, which not only takes into account non-ionising radiation hazards to workers (principally regarding the body heating effect RADHAZ can produce), but also hazards to equipment (electromagnetic compatibility) and affecting electronically initiated explosive devices. This link will provide some useful background reading: http://www.qinetiq.com/h...aflets.Par.0009.File.pdf NRPB will probably be able to provide further information regarding RADHAZ, although they may have a different term for it. The main hazards are emitted from RADAR and from radio communication transmissions. RADHAZ does not pertain to Ionising Radiation. That is a completely separate discipline. Richie
