Radiation Poisoning

Many people have jobs that require them to come into close contact with radiation. For example, sailors aboard submarines may have to come into contact with radiation from nuclear generators that power the submarine. Scientists at nuclear power plants have to come into contact with radiation. Additionally, many doctors use radiation to treat cancer patients.

These people and others who have to come into contact with radiation for their jobs take the maximum protective measures to ensure that they are not poisoned by radiation. They may wear protective suits, stand behind a protective screen, or work from afar so that the radiation does not penetrate them or penetrates them only after being diluted.

Work places establish policy and procedures to ensure that their employees do not get poisoned by radiation. Such policies and procedures are strict to ensure the workers’ safety, and for good reason. Radiation poisoning is very serious. People can suffer serious damage, such as the development of cancer, and even death if heavy and strong radiation penetrates or passes through them.

Employees understand how imperative it is to follow the policies and procedures for working around, near, and with radiation. Usually, there are no problems, as the policies and procedures are sound, effective, and the workers follow them appropriately.

Sometimes, however, policies and procedures do not work, or workers do not follow them properly. As a result people can become poisoned by radiation.
