Together, the Regulations require employers to protect: patients, employees, patients’ families, the public and themselves.
The guidance reminds employers that their ultimate accountability under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act in this respect cannot be delegated. However, it also underlines that the management of the use of ionizing radiation is ‘no different from managing any other health and safety risk’ and accordingly steers the reader stage-by-stage through the regulatory principles and duties.
