Radiation Safety and Common Sense

26 Minutes, 1994 (no CE credits)
Now available on DVD!

This video program explains the underlying concepts of radiation safety in everyday, non-technical language. Easy to understand analogies with situations we encounter in everyday life are used to explain the radiation safety story. For example, everyone is familiar with the characteristics of perfume, but few think of it in terms of contamination and irradiation. The simple and fimiliar things we know can help us gain a common sense understanding of new concepts and situations.

topics discussed include:

• Energy as particles and rays
• Background Radiation
• Irradiation vs. Contamination
• Time, Distance and Shielding
• Risks Associated with Typical Occupational Exposures

It is intended for workers who do not require an extensive radiation protection program, but who need an understanding of the principles of radiation safety.
