The health and education sectors use closed sources and generate open waste from medical diagnosis and treatment through to research and development, testing and teaching. Inventories are often large and contain items that are complex and decades old. Typical items are blood irradiators, Cs-137 and Sr-90 closed sources, Depleted Uranium, Panax kits and Uranium & Thorium items. For 14 years we have been handling small inventories to major site clearances of several 100 items. Our clients tell us that they value our ability to find a solution to their entire surplus inventory and our application of the highest standards of safety supported by a robust and transparent Quality Management system that meets the demands of ISO 9001:2000. Our collection Technicians have more than 250 years experience between them and you can rest assured that our focus on conducting collections safely is second to none. We do the job properly. Government departments such as The Department for Children, Schools & Families & Support to NHS Trusts take their environmental responsibilities seriously and many have policies and recycling targets to support. Safeguard International is at the forefront of the drive to recycle more radioactive material and any surplus closed sources you may have will always first be evaluated to see if this is possible. Many of our clients have no formal radioactive training; others are Radiation Protection Supervisors or retained Radiation Protection Advisors. However you are organised, our experience with radioactive materials means that we have trained, professional staff available to provide the right level of support through the complex processes of recycling closed sources, tritium, depleted uranium, contaminated metals or disposal of open waste.
