Task: 

Radiography - Gamma ray (Iridium 192 & Selenium 75)

Type of injury, damage, or environmental impact

  1. Biological changes in humans
  2. Radiation Injury
  3. Radiation sickness

Control Measures

  1. Approved procedures for Operating and
  2. Emergency Planning is in place, available, and understood.
  3. Radiation monitoring devices are available with the crew. (Survey meter, Bleeper, Dosimeter)
  4. Ensure Permits are in place. Isotope handled and stored correctly
  5. Erection of proper barricades, warning signs, and constant monitoring.
  6. The emergency took kit available at the site Toolbox talks before the start of the work
  7. Transportation of isotopes in approved vehicles. Report any malfunction of equipment promptly
  8. Use collimator wherever feasible Controlled area established as safe levels

1-Activity
