General Information

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Office of Radiological Health (ORH) is tasked with regulating sources of radiation within the Commonwealth in order to protect the public from unnecessary exposure. Section 32.1-229 of the Code of Virginia (Code) authorizes the Board of Health (Board) to establish a program of effective regulation of sources of radiation for the protection of public health and safety. After a review of 12VAC5-481, ORH determined that significant changes are required to update the regulations as well as the order of parts within the chapter. In its current form, 12VAC5-481 does not fully comply with the Virginia Register of Regulations’ Form, Style, and Procedure manual. ORH is considering repealing and replacing 12VAC5-481 to address needed revisions.
