RISK ASSESSMENT FOR RADIOGRAPHY
For regulatory compliance and safety during Radiography work, this Risk Assessment uploaded by HSE Documents is to be considered. Here one can find comprehensive procedures of radiation safety, occupational controls on radiation exposure, and ALARA implementation. The study and analysis of hazards comprising ionizing radiation hazards, hazards to radiographic equipment, and analysis of control measures constitute a major feature of this book. The study also emphasizes the application of landmark HSE standards such as OSHA, IAEA, and NRC in radiation protection techniques, use of PPE, and radiation monitoring instruments. This further guides you through steps to ensure workplace safety concerning radiographic testing safety, emergency preparedness, and training of human resources. It.is ideal for radiographers, safety officers, and facility managers who aspire to reduce health hazards, abide the Health & Safety Standards, and create a living environment for all. Download this Handbook now to gain insights on radiography safeguards and workplace safety best practices.
