  • In this video I will be giving a brief overview of Ionising Radiation, which is an important type of occupational hazard that a worker can be potentially exposed to!
    I will go over three main topics
    - A brief overview on the electromagnetic spectrum in particular ionising radiation
    - How we determine radiation dose, potential health effects of radiation and current dose limits
    - The types of controls that should be in place to minimise exposure
    Useful references for further reading on the topic:

    The best thing to do is let people know.
    Do not be afraid and do not take any more time !
    Remember, time is cells, and you have to tell the person exactly how much they received.
    I stay away from x rays and ionizing radiation because of all the x rays I had as a kid and in my 20’s and 30’s, so I can only have Ultrasound.
    Remember, this is the only job I have. Just let me know and go from there.
    Don’t Kill the Goose Or Let It Out Of Your Inventory.

    Is laser consider as ionizing radiation?

    Under _what_ circumstances does an American company get their 5G equipment's Radiation "Approval" from another country? Why skip the *EPA* Approval? 🤔
    Is that typical?

    Hi do you have a contact email? I was hoping to discuss the use of your videos for my students. Thanks.
