RCE Consulting

What RCE Consulting does

RCE Consulting, LLC is a privately held, veteran-owned compliance and training company that sells regulatory-required radiation safety training and written Radiation Protection Programs (RPPs) to owners and operators of non-medical x-ray inspection equipment — including cabinet x-ray systems used for security screening and food product inspection, handheld XRF analyzers, density/thickness gauges, and ANSI N43.17 Class A full-body x-ray screening systems. The product is delivered through a WordPress-based Learning Management System that supports both individual self-serve enrollment and a Classroom group mode (5-50 simultaneous trainees) administered by a customer-designated System Administrator, with course content built around video instruction by Health Physicist Steve Norris plus proctored quizzes and final exams (50 questions for operator courses, 25 for RSO courses).

The core revenue mechanics are pay-as-you-go course purchases priced $99–$895 per seat/license, plus one-time $895 state-specific RPP downloads (immediate digital or flash drive shipped within 48 hours) and ongoing regulatory compliance services (FDA reporting, state vendor/assembler registration, installation reporting) sold primarily to manufacturers and distributors of x-ray equipment. Group and enterprise buyers (FedEx, United Airlines) purchase via Net 30 RFQ/PO terms; individual buyers transact via PayPal/major credit card on the website. A free manufacturer/distributor compliance course is used as a top-of-funnel acquisition tool into the vendor channel.

The company serves four primary verticals — food processing/packaging (HACCP-driven x-ray inspection; customers include Campbell Soup, Yoplait, Unilever, General Mills, Nestle, Kraft Heinz, Tyson, Smithfield, Chobani, Ferrero, Maple Leaf, McCain), logistics/cargo screening (FedEx, UPS, Amazon, Kuehne+Nagel, DHL), law enforcement and critical infrastructure (courthouses, corrections, casinos including Wynn Resorts), and manufacturers/distributors of x-ray equipment — across all 50 US states, DC, and all 13 Canadian provinces/territories plus Health Canada Federal. Coverage and content depth across US states and Canadian provinces is the central operational and competitive dimension of the business.

Broad incumbents

• Versar Inc. Versar is an environmental and radiological safety consulting firm serving government and industrial clients. Comparable to RCE through its radiation safety expertise and federal/state regulatory advisory work, though Versar is a much larger consulting organization.
• SafetySkills: SafetySkills provides an online library of safety and compliance training courses for EHS professionals and operations teams. It is comparable to RCE through its online course delivery model and regulated-industry buyer base, but with a broader catalog and less radiation specialization.
• 360training: 360training is a large online compliance and regulatory training platform covering OSHA, environmental, safety, and selected radiation-related content. It competes in adjacent online EHS training but does not specialize in industrial x-ray radiation safety training like RCE.
• Landauer: Landauer is a global provider of radiation dosimetry monitoring services and radiation safety solutions for healthcare, industrial, and security customers. Comparable to RCE through the radiation safety service model, though Landauer is a large, established dosimetry services provider.
• Vector Solutions: Vector Solutions delivers online compliance, safety, and workforce training for regulated industries including industrial and facilities operations. Overlap with RCE is in the enterprise online training model and EHS content categories, though it serves a much broader scope.
• Mirion Technologies: Mirion is a leading provider of radiation detection, measurement, and dosimetry solutions serving nuclear, medical, and industrial customers. Comparable to RCE through its radiation safety ecosystem positioning, though Mirion is a much larger instrumentation-focused business.
• ClickSafety: ClickSafety (by Ascend Learning) provides online OSHA, environmental, and workplace safety training courses to enterprise customers. It is comparable as a self-serve online safety training platform targeting regulated enterprises, though it does not deeply specialize in radiation/x-ray safety.
• OSHA.com / SafelandUSA: OSHA.com / SafelandUSA offers online OSHA and general safety compliance training to individuals and small businesses. Comparable to RCE through the self-serve online compliance training model, but covers general workplace safety rather than radiation specialization.

Others

• National Health Physics Society (NRC referrals / Health Physics Society directory providers): The Health Physics Society is a professional association of radiation safety scientists and serves as a referral and standards resource for radiation safety training. It is adjacent to RCE as a connector in the radiation safety professional services ecosystem rather than a direct training competitor.

Direct peers

• Radiation Safety Associates (RSA Laboratories): Radiation Safety Associates provides radiation safety consulting, training, and audit services to industrial, medical, and research clients. It is a direct peer of RCE in radiation safety training and consulting for industrial and non-medical x-ray users.
