Radiation Protection Series No. 2.1
Safety Guide for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (2008)
This Safety Guide has been prepared to assist persons in meeting their responsibilities under the Code of Practice for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (2008) (the Transport Code ) in relation to the transport of radioactive material by road, rail or those waterways not covered by the Maritime legislation.
The Safety Guide complements the Transport Code and although the Guide does not have any extra mandatory requirements, it provides advice and guidance on good radiation protection practice and meeting the requirements of the Transport Code.
