Radiation Protection Surveys
So you know, Supertech X-ray is NOT certified (and neither is any other radiation protection surveyor!).
In fact, no medical x-ray imaging radiation protection surveyor or their survey activities are currently accredited, certified, endorsed, associated with, approved, preferred or recommended by any collegial, governmental, OHS regulatory authority or organization in BC. Do not be swayed by providers who embellish qualifications with unearned titles/qualifications such as ‘engineer’ and ‘certified’ and feign close or special relationships with related organizations with vague terms such as ‘partnered with’ and ‘medical radiation surveyors for (place name of OHS regulatory organization here)’ in an attempt to gain your business.
Supertech X-ray gains trust and business of clients through humble demonstration of competence, completeness, experience, knowledge and patience, Supertech X-ray is the only radiation protection surveyor that takes the time to deliver the final detailed report and verbal explanation of determinations upon conclusion of each survey BEFORE leaving a client site. To this end, Supertech X-ray does one client site visit per day. This approach demonstrates dedication to the client and facility staff in delivering the best information and explanations with no hurry- no rush, respecting that patient flow at these times take precedence. Each survey is invoiced at a flat rate (NOT at an hourly rate) to further reflect that Supertech respects that patient care is always the most important priority for any client.
Is your patient care practice benefiting from the medical x-ray Radiation Protection Surveys mandated by the CCHPBC1, BCCOHP1, CVBC1 and other collegial organizations?
Other surveyors typically provide a quick in-and-out and hence a limited and expensive ‘service’…
i) a check of the x-ray machine output followed by...
ii) an x-ray machine testing report (maybe!), and/or a certificate.
The above ‘service’ doesn’t bring your practice to compliance with WorkSafeBC1 OHS regulations. You, the facility or practice owner, are potentially left liable for failing to achieve this compliance. Let Supertech X-ray help with getting your facility past this hurdle properly.
With Supertech X-ray as your guide, we can help your practice meet obligations- and elevate staff awareness of radiation safety to a positive level that they can understand and proactively contribute to.
You too can receive the outstanding and competent level of service that current Supertech X-ray clients already experience! Please check your current Radiation Safety Certificate’s expiry date. Give Supertech a call, text or email to arrange a survey now.
Our human and veterinary facility clients include those with medical digital radiography, intraoral (including hand-held) and extraoral (pano) dental x-ray sources, and advanced modalities such as dynamic radiography, fluoroscopy, CBCT and CT Scan.
Regarding CBCT and CT Scan modalities…
Supertech X-ray recommends that a current CCPM1 registered medical radiation physicist carry out the required Radiation Protection Survey Report ‘x-ray performance’ and ‘imaging/diagnosis performance’ testing and expertly report the results that would form part of a Supertech X-ray Radiation Protection Survey Report. Performance Testing is equivalent to annual testing protocol in Health Canada Safety Codes 30 and 35 with the difference being that a QMP (qualified medical physicist) would carry out the testing and report findings accordingly. QMPs are the best experts having the education and experience to overall evaluate these complex systems and find radiation dose, image resolution/contrast and defect concerns that may not be noticeable on patient images but nevertheless can affect a clinician’s ability to diagnose conditions.
Supertech X-ray also provides Radiation Shielding Design and Assessment services for future and current clients.
