This Radiation Protection Plan establishes procedures to ensure that all activities involving ionising radiation (e.g., X-ray equipment, sealed/unsealed radioactive sources) are conducted in compliance with the Singapore Radiation Protection Act (Cap. 262), its Regulations, and NEA guidelines. The objective is to keep radiation exposures ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), prevent deterministic effects, and limit stochastic risks.
The Scorecard.
You cannot manage what you cannot measure.
Writing the template is the easy part. Implementing it in a high-pressure Singaporean workplace—where efficiency and output are prized—is the challenge. The Feedback Loop
The most effective RPPs are those that treat radiation not as a mysterious monster, but as a controllable energy. A great RPP does the following:
This guide helps licensees (e.g., hospitals, industrial radiography firms, research labs, dental clinics) create a legally compliant RPP. An RPP is mandatory for all NEA radiation licences (other than a storage licence). Below is a structural template designed to meet
