By Email to: Bernard le Guen, IRPA Executive Officer Copy to: Roger Coates OBE, IRPA President 31 October 2016 Proposal for IRPA Workstream on Radiation Safety Culture in the Higher Education Research & Teaching (HERT) sector Dear Bernard, Further to your letter of 17 June 2016, we have further developed the above proposal which we put forward in the AS Forum at IRPA14, and now submit the attached for consideration by the IRPA Executive Council. As you will be aware, SRP and its Partner Societies, collaborate through SRP’s International Committee and have a number of Working Groups (WGs) on Radiation Safety Culture covering different sectors. The WG covering the HERT sector is led by our Partner Society, the Association of University Radiation Protection Officers (AURPO). As stated in the proposal, their work has identified particular challenges in the sector and ways forward. The sector would benefit from collaboration across ASs, and we particularly draw your attention to the long term benefit from embedding Radiation Safety Culture at an early stage; and that this is imperative as the students of today become the scientists, engineers and managers of tomorrow. If you require any further information, please let us know. Yours sincerely Professor Peter Cole, CRadP, FSRP SRP President Views for the UK on future IRPA RP Culture Projects
