Please find the next release of the Health and Safety Manual, 2a Radioactive Scrap. You can download the section from www.recyclemetals.org/healthandsafety.
 
This coincides with the second of the BMRA’s series of health and safety posters, designed to help you keep your site a safe space in which to operate. Each metal recycler in membership will receive a poster. 
 
We are very grateful to service member Olympus, and to Radman Associates, who assisted us with reviewing the new Health and Safety manual, for supporting the production of this poster. 
 
If there are other topics you would like to see covered, or you would like to discuss other issues in more detail, please do get in touch.
