Radioisotope Lab Safety
Radiation exposure from the use of radioactive materials can cause adverse health effects. Using exposure controls and following safe work practices help minimize radiation exposures and prevent radiation contamination of work areas and equipment.
Learn about the proper personal protective to wear while working with or around radioisotopes to keep you safe and in the case of exposure what you should do and how to avoid future exposures. A radioisotope is a radioactive isotope and is used in many industries across the world.
Common industries that use radioisotopes:
- Automobile Industry
- Aircraft Industry
- Pipeline Companies and Workers
- Oil, Gas & Mining Operations
- Cable Manufacturing
- Many, Many More!
Exposure to radioisotopes without the proper personal protective equipment can lead to:
- Hair Loss
- Burns
- Nausea
- Cancer
- Damage to Internal Organs
- Death
