1.6 RADIATION AND MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL WARNING
(from NEMA Standards Publication/No. XR8-1979)
Radiation Warning for Diagnostic X-Ray Systems
X-rays are dangerous to both operator and others in the vicinity unless established,
safe, exposure procedures are strictly observed.
The useful and scattered beams can produce serious, genetic or potentially fatal bodily
injuries to any persons in the surrounding area if used by an unskilled operator.
Adequate precautions must always be taken to avoid exposure to the useful beam, as
well as to leakage radiation from within the source housing or to scattered radiation
resulting from the passage of radiation through matter.
Those authorized to operate, test, participate in or supervise the operation of the
equipment must be thoroughly familiar, and comply completely with the currently
established safe exposure factors and procedures described in publications such as
Sub-Chapter J of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, “Diagnostic X-Ray
Systems and their Major Components,” and the National Council on Radiation Protection
(NCRP) No. 33, “Medical X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Protection for Energies up to 10 MeV-
Equipment Design and Use,” as revised or replaced in the future.
Failure to observe these warnings may cause serious, genetic or potentially fatal bodily
injuries to the operator or those in the area
