Radioactive Substances Act 1960
The Council is notified of all premises within the Borough in respect of which certificates are
issued by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government for the keeping and use therein of
radioactive materials.
During the year, the Council were notified of a slight increase in the number and strength of sources
of radioactivity held at 3 of the premises in the borough already holding radioactive materials.
New certificates were issued by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government in respect of 2
premises.
Visits to premises using radioactive materials continue to be carried out by one of the Senior Public
Health Inspectors so that the department can be kept informed of the levels and use of these materials
within the Borough.
Student Public Health Inspectors
The Department has eight student public health inspectors, with two pupils on each year of the
four-year course. They attend the Education Board Diploma day-release course at the Tottenham
Technical College.
The in-service training is directly supervised by a Senior Public Health Inspector who has steadily
expanded and developed their programme of practical work, to ensure that, when qualified, the
officer has had a very full experience of the best methods of dealing with the problems he is likely
to meet with as a public health inspector.
