LICENSING |
|
|
|
|
|
Persons using sources of radiation that are subject to the Act must either - |
|
|
a) |
hold a current licence; or |
|
b) |
lawfully work under the direction and supervision of a licensee; or |
|
c) |
hold an individual exemption from licence; or |
|
d) |
belong to a class of individuals exempted from licensing by regulation. |
|
|
|
|
Application for licence forms (including fee schedule) relating to Radioactive Substances (PDF) and X-ray Equipment and/or Electronic Products (PDF) are available here. For all applications an original signature is required, due to this faxed and electronic submissions cannot be accepted. |
|
|
Licence renewals are sent out annually or triennially (the first week of the preceding month). Payments can be accepted as cash, cheque or money order. Purchase orders are not currently acceptable as invoices are not issued. |
|
|
|
|
|
An exemption by regulation as in d) may require the persons concerned to hold a particular qualification or to be otherwise appropriately trained. The regulation may also require them to work under the direction and supervision of a licensee or a person holding an exemption from licence. A list of licence (and exemption from licence) purposes and their associated conditions, restrictions and limitations is available here. |
|
|
|
|
|
Unless one of these criteria is met, it is an offence to use, operate, possess, or otherwise deal with x-ray equipment, non-exempt radioactive substances or the prescribed electronic products. |
|
|
|
|
|
Licences and individual exemptions from licence are personal (like a driver's licence) and cannot be transferred to another person. |
