What is the aim of the Ionising Regulations 2017?

The aim of the Ionising Regulations 2017 is to protect individuals from radiation exposure. These regulations set out a framework to ensure that any activities involving ionising radiation, whether in medical settings or other industries, are conducted safely. This includes limiting exposure to radiation for patients, healthcare workers, and the general public through appropriate safety measures and training.

By focusing on radiation protection, the regulations help minimize the health risks associated with ionising radiation, such as potential cancer development and other harmful biological effects. This is essential in healthcare, where ionising radiation is commonly used for diagnostic imaging and treatment purposes. In contrast, the other options, while important in their own contexts, do not pertain to the specific focus of the Ionising Regulations 2017.
