PROTECTION AGAINST INTERNAL
RADIATION HAZARDS
Safety Procedures and Surveillance
Safety procedures must stress the importance of preventing
inhalation, ingestion and penetration of radionuclides through
skin, and contamination of personnel and working areas in
normal routine procedure and emergency situation.
Having a safe working procedure does not guarantee its
compliance.
Surveillance of compliance and monitoring of radiation levels
must be carried out periodically.
Both visual surveillance and those using radiation monitoring
and detectors must be used.
