Working with industries and regulators, Cody has been involved in licensing of Canada’s first provincially licensed decontamination facility in 1997 and Canada’s first provincial NORM Landfill in 2006.

Cody has been a pioneer in developing radiation protection policies and procedures in the oil and gas industry. He has worked with industry and regulators, and is presently a member of Health Canada’s NORM Working Group, charged with updating the Canadian NORM Guidelines and was the primary author of the Canadian NORM Transport Guidelines. His extensive experience has provided non CNSC regulated industries with NORM management services that include radiological assessments, facility surveys, workplace monitoring, NORM training program development, radiation protection plan (RPP) development, regulatory consultation, OH&S compliance audits, radon gas testing, low level radioactive dust (LLRD) monitoring, worker exposure assessments, waste characterization, equipment decontamination, laboratory analysis, NORM transport, manifesting and NORM waste disposal. Cody has developed proprietary decontamination equipment and processes and built Canada's only mobile gamma spectroscopy Lab dedicated to oil and gas industry.

Cody also has experience in the management of radioactive materials under the control of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. Cody has experience in obtaining licensing approvals from the CNSC including obtaining approval to dispose of uranium impacted waste at one of Canada's licensed NORM waste landfills.
