Radiation Handling & Monitoring Services – WA Wide
At Perth Chemical Specialists, we offer professional support for the safe handling, testing, and management of radiation sources and potentially contaminated materials. Whether you’re dealing with unknown radiological activity, require compliance monitoring, or need assistance with low-level source testing, our team is equipped to assess, identify, and manage materials in line with Western Australian regulations.
Versatile Radiation Testing & Identification Services
We assist with a wide range of site activities, including the safe observation and management of tools and equipment that may involve radiation exposure. For example, we can support pipeline and facility work involving cleaning pigs, where residual radioactive material may be a concern. Using calibrated detection equipment, we can help confirm the presence, absence, or type of radiation, providing clarity on next steps.
Whether it’s routine monitoring, compliance checks, or event-based testing, our service is responsive, mobile, and designed to adapt to your site’s specific conditions. Our team brings practical, safety-first experience to any job where radiation could be a factor — without unnecessary complexity.
Transport & Disposal of Low-Level Radiological Waste
If material is confirmed to be radiologically affected, we can assist with the safe containment, documentation, and transfer of waste for compliant disposal. Our service includes:
• Risk assessment and radiation measurement
• Secure packaging and labelling (as required)
• Coordination of licensed transport
• Guidance on reporting and site documentation
We support various sectors, including industrial, mining, energy, and waste, assisting teams in managing uncertainty and ensuring compliance.
Our flexible service model means we can provide ad-hoc consultancy or ongoing radiation officer support to suit the scale of your operation.
Need help understanding a potential radiation risk?
We offer straightforward support, whether you’re unsure about a reading, planning maintenance work, or responding to a concern. Our goal is to help identify risks early, manage materials responsibly, and keep your team and site safe — all without overcomplicating the process.
FAQs
-
We can assist with a variety of items, including tools, industrial equipment, containers, or site materials that may be suspected of containing residual radiation. This includes situations like pipeline maintenance or site decommissioning.
-
Yes. If radiation is detected, we can help determine both the type and the likely source — such as uranium, cesium, or other radioactive isotopes. This helps ensure accurate classification and guides the correct handling, containment, or disposal approach.
-
Absolutely. If required, we can arrange compliant transport and disposal through licensed partners, including all necessary documentation, labelling, and EPA-aligned waste handling.
-
Not at all. We support everything from routine precautionary testing to minor on-site checks, material clearance, or small-scale clean-up support. If you’re unsure whether radiation is involved, we can help assess and confirm.
