Radon Centres is pleased to announce that they have secured the services of Professor Denman as its Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA). After a career in the National Health Service as head of medical physics at Northampton General Hospital, he is continuing his RPA status independently, and is currently working with the University of Northampton primarily continuing research into radon, and its health risks.

Professor Denman has an international reputation in the study of radon, particularly in work to assess when radon remediation is cost effective in both houses and the workplace, the health benefits of reducing radon levels, and the increased risks if occupants smoke. His presentations at conferences across the world are well received.

With his previous background in the NHS, Professor Denman has considerable experience as a Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) in the use of X-Rays and Radioactive Isotopes in hospitals as well as acting as RPA for other uses of Ionising Radiation. He also has expertise in the response to Radiation Incidents, and was involved in the radiation incident in the county in 1999, when a large amount of depleted Uranium turnings were illegally dumped on farm property.

Professor Denman is accredited to act as Radiation Protection Adviser, and also as a Laser Protection Adviser under the RPA2000 scheme.

We are now able to offer a more comprehensive service of a Radiation Protection Adviser for help in complying with the Ionising Radiation Regulations 1999. These regulations are part of the Health and Safety at Work Act, and should be complied with by employers.

If you have radon levels which require the services of an RPA or advice on any aspect of radon, please call us for friendly and informative advice.

If you require advice on other uses of Ionising Radiation, or Laser Safety, please also inquire to see if Professor Denman can help you.
