Radiation and Environmental Safety

Radiation and Environmental Safety involves protecting people and the environment from potential harm caused by exposure to radioactive materials or sources of ionizing radiation. It includes proper handling, storage, and disposal of radioactive substances, regulating exposure levels, and monitoring environment and worker safety. The goal is to prevent health issues like cancer or contamination, ensuring that radiation use—such as in medicine, energy, or industry—is conducted responsibly and safely. Organizations follow strict standards and guidelines to minimize risk while allowing beneficial uses of radiation.
