Radiation safety advice sheets

Radiation Safety Advice Sheets

Here are some handy safety advice sheets to help teams with practical guidance on key areas within radiation safety.  They have been developed for Radiation Safety Advice Week by members of the Radiation Safety SIG, including physicists, radiologists, radiographers and corporate partners. 

Four new advice sheets will be added during Radiation Safety Week.
