Radiation guidelines
|
|
|
|
Time. The shorter the time in a radiation
field, the less the radiation exposure.
Work quickly and efficiently.
A rotating team approach can be used to keep individual radiation exposures
to a minimum.
|
|
|
|
Distance. The farther a person is from a source
of radiation, the lower the radiation dose.
Do not touch radioactive materials.
Use shovels, brooms, etc., to move materials to avoid physical
contact.
|
|
|
|
Shielding. Although not always practical in
emergency situations, shielding offered by barriers can reduce radiation
exposure.
