Radiation Safety Guidelines

 

 

To ensure the health and safety of the operator and all others in the 
vicinity of operating x-ray inspection equipment, the following guidelines 
are recommended for establishing a basic radiation safety program. 

 

 

Note:  Federal, State, and some local government 
agencies may have more stringent regulations 
concerning the operation and use of equipment that 
produces ionizing radiation (x-rays).  The requirements 
of these governing agencies supersede the 
recommendations made by the manufacturer.

 

 

1.  A copy of the operating instructions should be kept at the 

machine at all times. 

 

2.  Personnel operating the equipment should be trained in the 

proper and safe operation of the machine. 

 

3.  Radiation surveys should be performed periodically to ensure 

that the amount of radiation being emitted by the machine is 
less than 0.5mR/hour.  We recommend performing a radiation 
survey: 

 

  Following initial installation 

– before placing the x-ray 

system into service. 

  Whenever the x-ray system is relocated. 

  Whenever the x-ray system receives a strong jolt (e.g., 

being dropped ore than one inch or struck sufficiently 
hard to dent or deform the exterior cabinet). 

  Whenever a leaded component (such as the x-ray 

generator, shielding, inspection tunnel curtains, LXDA or 
collimator cover) is removed for any reason or period of 
time. 

  Annually 

– from the date of the most recent radiation 

survey 

 

4.  All controls and indicators should be checked daily to ensure 

proper operation. 

 

5.  Do not operate the x-ray system if it is not in good repair.  Do 

not attempt to remove or bypass any controls (e.g. foot pedals 
and key-switches), interlocks, status indicators, leaded 
components (including the inspection tunnel curtains) or 
physical barriers.  In the event of failure or breakage, these
