Radiation Safety
Procedures and practices for protecting people from harmful effects of ionizing radiation in radiographic testing. Safety measures include maintaining distance from radiation sources, using shielding, limiting exposure time, using dosimeters, and establishing controlled exclusion zones. Training in radiation safety is mandatory for radiographic technicians. Regulatory agencies enforce strict safety standards for industrial radiography.
