The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an organization that provides guidelines to ensure the safe use of radiation in medicine, industry, and research. It assesses how radiation affects people's health and recommends limits to minimize risks like cancer or other health problems. The ICRP's guidance helps professionals make informed decisions about protecting workers and the public from unnecessary radiation exposure, balancing the benefits of radiation use with safety considerations based on scientific evidence.
