Meet the Team
At Safe Radiation, our team combines deep industry knowledge with a passion for radiation safety and precision. Each member plays a key role in delivering high-quality calibration, compliance, and support services to our clients across Australia.
Our Journey
Founded in 2006, Safe Radiation began with a vision to provide exceptional calibration and service for radiation measurement equipment. Over the years, the Safe Radiation logo evolved several times, each iteration reflecting the shared determination of Sadia and Riaz, whose initials “S” and “R” became a symbol of teamwork and technical resolve.
​
In the early days, the founders worked tirelessly: long nights filled with writing reports, crafting graphs and tables, designing methodologies, developing custom equipment, and preparing templates for routine laboratory services. Countless cups of tea and coffee fueled those efforts and laid the groundwork for everything Safe Radiation would become.
​
After many years of hands‑on leadership and refinement of technical and operational standards, Sadia and Riaz felt deep pride in passing the business into highly capable hands. As of May 28, 2025, McKavanagh Engineering completed the acquisition of the Brisbane‑based calibration laboratory, cementing a legacy of excellence that began under the founders’ guidance​
“It is so pleasing for us to pass Safe Radiation on to a highly skilled and professional team. We see their vision, leadership and management seamlessly blending with the skills of the technical staff, with whom we worked in the past. Our well wishes for Safe Radiation will never fade.”
