RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES ACT 1960
Only one additional notification of the holding of radioactive material at premises within the Borough was
received during the year. This related to the use of tritium in a gaseous form for the purpose of carrying out
tests in connection with the manufacture of fluorescent lamps.
Premises using radioactive materials are visited 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 an establishment of 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.
