Safety regulations in radiation practice

A license often must be obtained prior to working with an X-ray machine and radioactive materials. Once obtained it must be kept current.

Area Requirements

The local components of an analytical X-ray system shall be located and arranged and shall include sufficient shielding, or access control such that no radiation levels associated to the analytical assay exist in any surrounding local area.

Each area or room containing analytical X-ray equipment shall be posted with a sign bearing the radiation symbol and the words "Controlled Zone". This includes labelling equipment.
