HSRA- Hazardous Substances Regulatory Authority

Welcome to the Hazardous Substances Regulatory Authority (HSRA). We are the first independent national regulatory body for radiation protection and safety in the English-speaking Caribbean.

The HSRA is an Agency of the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce (MIIC), in Jamaica. The HSRA was established under the Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Act, 2015 (NSRP Act, 2015). The Act makes new provisions for the regulation of activities, practices, apparatuses and facilities involving ionizing radiation and nuclear technology for the protection of people, property and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation; and for connected matters.
