Radiation Protection and Control | 26 |
House of Assembly | 25/03/2020 |
This Act will reduce licensing from the existing seven separate licence categories down to two licence categories: a radiation use licence and a radiation management licence. In addition, registrations of equipment will be able to be included on radiation management licences providing a single document for businesses to manage their regulatory obligations. The Act provides for order making powers that can be utilised to obtain compliance without the need for court proceedings while allocating jurisdiction for administrative appeals to the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Part 5 of the Act provides new offences relating to causing radiation harm, with clause 50 relating to causing serious radiation harm and clause 51 relating to causing radiation harm. Radiation harm offences will provide a significant penalty in circumstances where an individual, a group of persons or the environment is harmed or likely to be harmed by exposure to quantities of radiation beyond those lawfully permitted by the remainder of the Act.
