Australian Radiation Incident Register
ARPANSA has again collated data from radiation regulators around the country to provide a report on radiation safety and identify opportunities for improvement in the safe use of radiation, particularly in the medical sector.
ARPANSA collates and publishes an annual report on radiation incidents in Australia. This report is produced with input from various radiation regulators around the country, based on incidents submitted to them and any subsequent investigations they carry out.
Annual summary reports of radiation incidents have been compiled since 2004 and are available below.
ARPANSA will publish safety alerts to notify radiation users, regulators and the public of significant issues arising from radiation incidents.

UV and Lasers sources are discussed together because they are both non-ionising radiation sources and are involved in similar incidents.
