  1. Radiation Safety: Why you need to be Extra Cautious Radiation exposure can be very hazardous to us as it has sufficient energy to affect the living cells and make them cancerous. Also, overexposure can cause skin burns and acute radiation syndrome. An experienced radiation protection adviser can ensure the radiation safety of the workers working with radiations, identify radiation hazards, introduce safety measures, and do a proper risk assessment. Three principle of radiation safety: 1.Time The time you spend exposing yourself to the radiation can adversely affect us. Radiation is required in many areas as it helps in detecting, correcting, and for innovation. So, we can’t just completely eliminate the use of radiation from the workplace. 2.Distance

  2. The distance between you and the source of radiation can protect you from harmful effects of radiation. The effect of radiation is inversely proportional to the distance. 3.Shielding Another way you can keep yourself safe from radiation is the method of proper shielding. You can shield yourself with aprons, masks, other iron shields and many kinds of radiation protection wearable. Why do you need to be extra cautious while dealing with the radiation? 1.Genetic disorder: When exposed to radiation for a longer period of time, you may notice many kinds of changes in you and one such change is genetic disorder. Many face chromosomal disease which doesn’t get treated even with the medications. 2.Skin Burn:

  3. Radiation can burn your skin when exposed very closely and without wearing any shield. You can wear gloves, a helmet and other protective coverage to avoid skin burn. 3.Reproductive disorder: Not only to your external body has it also affected your internal organ. Workers working in high risk areas are prone to such problems and they are even risking the next generation due to the radiation. Leakage of radiation to the environment can lead to many side effects that you can’t even imagine. 4.Hormonal changes: Another big disadvantage of radiation exposure is hormonal changes, which leads to many skin disorders, hair falls, and many major health disorders. 5.Death: Many great scientists lost their life due to the radiation and those people are famously known among us all. Madame Curie while experimenting with the radium lost her life. To get the complete protection from the adverse effect of radiation, you can contact a highly experienced radiation protection advisor and supervisor who have knowledge of dealing with radiation and the work
