Non-destructive testing using ultrasonic, magnetic particle, dye penetrant and radiographic methods to inspect welds and components without damage. Ionising radiation sources, chemical penetrants and elevated work platforms trigger WHS Regulation 2011 duties for hazardous chemicals, radiation safety and high risk construction work controls.

Hazards identified

3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.

Ionising radiation exposure from RT gamma sources (Ir-192, Se-75)HIGH

Acute radiation burns, cancer, fatality

Chemical exposure to penetrants, developers and MT solventsMEDIUM

Dermatitis, respiratory irritation, chemical burns

Falls from height during in-situ pipework and structural NDTHIGH

Serious injury or fatality from falls

Control measures

Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination β†’ substitution β†’ isolation β†’ engineering β†’ administrative β†’ PPE.

  1. 1Establish radiation exclusion zones with dose-rate monitoring, interlocks, dosimetry and licensed radiographer per ARPANSA RPS-9.
  2. 2Use enclosed penetrant systems, ventilation and chemical-resistant gloves with SDS-aligned PPE per WHS Reg Ch 7.
  3. 3Deploy compliant EWPs, harness systems and edge protection with rescue plan per AS/NZS 1891.

Applicable Codes of Practice

ARPANSA RPS-9 Code for Radiation Protection in Industrial Radiographyβš– Legally binding Β· 1 Jul 2026

Mandatory radiation safety controls for RT operations

AS 3669 Non-destructive testing β€” Industrial radiography

Technical standard for safe RT execution

High-Risk Construction Work triggered

12
Work involving the use or handling of energised electrical or radiation

RT uses sealed gamma sources emitting ionising radiation requiring licensed handling and dose control.

1
Work involving a risk of a person falling more than 2 metres

In-situ NDT on tanks, pipework and structures routinely performed above 2 metres.

Legal consequence

HRCW SWMS mandatory before work; non-compliance attracts PCBU prosecution and stop-work notices.
