TALK TO OUR TEAM

Central & Local Government Sector Services

Qualifications and Assurance

Acquired by Lucion in December 2021, we were founded in 2001. We provide a full radiation protection service to a wide range of sectors including Central & Local Government.

We do not utilise sub-contractors to deliver radiation advisory services. This means we have all experience, competency and expertise in-house and can control resource allocation to ensure we meet client led requirements, timescales and quality standards.

We hold ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications for our quality and health, safety and environment management systems, demonstrating that our company operations, including for training, equipment calibration, and document control meet recognised UK standards. 

Our awarding body, BSI, visits our offices on a regular basis to review documentation and evidence that we are compliant with the certification requirements and criteria. The scope of our registrations is for the provision of radiation protection and radioactive waste advisory services and radiological training services, meaning that the certifications apply directly to the services required under this framework. 

In line with our ISO 9001 quality management system, we have a process for peer assessment and review of all reports where another equally qualified and competent Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) or Radioactive Waste Adviser (RWA) will check reports for technical accuracy, compliance with guidance, and consistency before being authorised and delivered to the client.

Expanding Your Green Supply Chain

We are part of the Lucion Group, a purpose-driven company, dedicated to protecting people from hazardous environments and protecting the environment from the impacts of people. 

Through the Lucion Group of companies, we facilitate the sustainable development of clients across 12 key sectors worldwide through risk mitigation services. To assist our clients at every stage of their asset lifecycle journey, our Group works as three industry verticals: inspection, providing hazardous material testing data analysis and surveys; assessment, a conductor of physical onsite investigations including geoenvironmental and geotechnical studies; and advisory, offering environmental, sustainability and consultancy services.

As a private equity-backed business, we are sustainable, and interesting and continue to grow and push forward to secure our future as a business not only for our investors but for our community of people. The Group signed up for the UN Global Compact in November 2022. With its internationally recognised set of 10 universal principles for good business practice, the international aspect is an important one. The commitment to the UN Global Compact includes providing a corporate disclosure of ESG annually, which we will be completing for the first time in 2023. As we acquire more businesses the integration is a challenge as they adapt to the culture and values of the Group and we have more data to collect, for example across our fleet and property portfolio. We have addressed this by creating roles in these key areas, and understand that having good data and being well informed allows us to make the best choices in the future. It has also enabled us to become a “Beyond Net Zero” business with action plans for carbon emissions reductions.

We are determined to see a positive change in the landscape of our business. We are happy to report that in December 2022, we reached ‘beyond carbon neutral’ status and have not only offset our current carbon production, but have also continued to limit our carbon production where possible, and aim to offset not only what's leftover, but an additional 50% of the output in 2023. We will continue to make an impact whilst expanding our international capabilities with our founding membership (through our Delta-Simons business) with the Inogen® Alliance, a global corporation providing multinational organisations with consistent, high quality and cost-effective environmental, health, safety, energy and sustainability solutions.
