Public Health England is the UK's primary authority on radiation, chemicals and environmental hazards, carrying out research to advance the knowledge about protection and prevention from the risks they present.

CRCE invest in discovering and developing prospects, to bring about the maximal impact possible from their work. We aim to facilitate the transfer of our distinctive knowledge and capability to industry, government and the public. CRCE are 'open for business' and can offer access to the world-class expertise, facilities and intellectual property assets.

Public Health England (PHE) was formed in April 2013 when a number of existing organisations, including the Health Protection Agency, were brought together to form a single authoritative health protection body. PHE is an executive agency of the Department of Health.

As the UK's primary authority on radiation protection, Public Health England (PHE) represents a significant nationwide resource for industry, education, research and medicine.

Specific functions of PHE are to carry out research to advance knowledge about protection from the risks of radiation; to provide laboratory and technical services; to run training courses; to provide expert information; and to fulfil a significant advisory role to regulators, government, the public and others.

In 2003 the Health and Safety Executive recognised PHE (then HPA) as the UK's first Radiation Protection Adviser Body which was reaffirmed in 2008. PHE is now recognised by HSE as an RPA body under IRR17. Our expertise is also acknowledged worldwide with contributions to international bodies such as the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The DGSA service is provided by PHE's highly knowledgeable staff. Between them, our DGSAs have extensive experience of providing advice on radiation protection and transport regulation compliance. Individually certificated Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers are based across the country to provide nationwide coverage and a rapid response in case of an incident.
