3 Standards This SMS provides the minimum legal standards that service areas and schools must keep to. It gives guidance but does not limit service areas in how they achieve the standard. 1. You will ensure that the risks from non-ionising radiation, ultraviolet radiation, laser equipment and visible light are considered as part of the job or activity risk assessment 2. You must publish your own local arrangements reacting to radiation. Section 1 Non-ionising radiation mobile phones Non-ionising radiation describes two parts of the electromagnetic spectrum - optical radiation such as ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared light, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) such as power frequencies, microwaves and radiofrequencies. 3. You must make sure that exposure to non-ionising radiation from mobile phones is kept as low as reasonably possible. 4. You will ensure that the risks from non-ionising radiation are considered as part of the job or activity risk assessment. 5. You will issue mobile phones with a low specific energy absorption rate (SAR) if using landlines is not practical. 6. Staff must use mobile phones for as short a time as possible. 7. You will provide hands-free kits and other devices that have been proved to reduce SAR where mobile phones must be used often or for long periods (or both). 8. Encourage staff to keep mobile phones away from their body when in standby mode. 9. Any base stations on our buildings must be isolated to prevent access to any unauthorised people. 10. Drivers must switch off their mobile phone whenever the engine is running, unless there is a valid reason and a specific procedure for leaving the mobile phone on. However, at no time must drivers use their mobile phones when the engine is running. Relevant national legislation Health and Safety at Work Act The Road Traffic Act Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations Section 2 Non-ionising radiation ultraviolet radiation (UVR) Non-ionising radiation describes two parts of the electromagnetic spectrum - optical radiation such as ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared light, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) such as power frequencies, microwaves and radiofrequencies. 11. You should reduce as far as possible exposure to the sun when working outdoors, particularly between 10am and 2pm. 12. You should reduce as far as possible overexposure to UVR from welding operations. Page 3 of 8/WMBC/SMS Radiation/0804/02 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED
4 13. You should encourage employees working outdoors to: wear suitable head wear whenever possible; cover their skin with clothing that gives good protection (for example, long-sleeved shirts and loose clothing with a close weave); and wear sunglasses these should block out UVA and UVB rays and be a wraparound design. Relevant national legislation Health and Safety at Work Act Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations Section 3 Non-ionising radiation lasers Non-ionising radiation describes two parts of the electromagnetic spectrum - optical radiation such as ultraviolet (UV), visible and infrared light, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) such as power frequencies, microwaves and radiofrequencies. 14. Prevent deliberate repeated exposure to laser light, such as laser pointers (and projectors). 15. Laser equipment must meet the industry safety standards. 16. Dismantling any class 1 products (including laser printers, CD players and DVD players) must be carried out only by a competent person (for example, the supplier). 17. Make sure that contractors use laser equipment safely. The equipment must meet the requirements of the relevant standard and guidance. 18. Make sure that contractors have adequately assessed the safety of any laser show. 19. You must make sure that exposure to laser light is kept as low as reasonably possible. Relevant national legislation Health and Safety at Work Act The Road Traffic Act Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations Section 4 Visible Light This section outlines the corporate standards for exposure to high emission light sources. 20. You should ensure that persons using high emission light source devices, such as projection equipment, photocopiers etc. o are able to avoid starting directly into the beam o can position themselves so that they can face away from the beam as much as possible. o In the case of projectors, can look at their audience without the beam being in their sight line. (This can be achieved by ceiling-mounting the projector rather than positioning the device on the floor or table) and; o Use laser pointers or sticks to avoid the need to enter the beam 21. You will need to produce risk assessments and make sure that all staff are made aware of significant risks that have been identified and the controls that are in place.

Sources are not in the same room as material that can burn easily 9. A radioactive source history for each source (including the results of regular inspections and leak tests) is available 10. The use log is filled in whenever sources are used and is available 11. The monitoring record is filled in each year 12. The RPS has provided appropriate instruction and training 13. The RPS regularly checks to make sure that sources have been returned to the store room Page 8 of 8/WMBC/SMS Radiation/0804/02 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED
