There are many types of work in which female workers are exposed to radiation, and the dose of radiation received by their personnel varies greatly. Mainly refers to: work engaged in the production and use of radioactive substances or radiation devices, such as personnel engaged in radioactivity detection, the use of instruments and meters containing radioactive sources, medical institutions applying radiation sources for radioactive diagnosis, treatment, intervention, bone reshaping and foreign body extraction of health care workers; in the (high concentration of radon in the air) underground buildings and the application of various types of staff of the geothermal water; the production of companionable electrical products workers; flight attendants of jet airliners and so on.
Additionally, accidental radiation exposure should also be emphasized, as it is not easy to be detected and ignored by those who are exposed to it. For example, in the petroleum, chemical, heat and power, heating, water supply and other enterprises to implement the project construction or equipment maintenance, such as the implementation of radioactive testing work, at this time, if no protective measures are taken, can make the project construction personnel as well as in the vicinity of the operation of other equipment by the radioactive testing of the personnel to suffer from the radiation generated by a large dose of radiation exposure.
After being irradiated by a certain dose of radiation, female workers may suffer damage to their health, and there is also the risk of cancer, due to the carcinogenicity of radiation has no threshold, radiation is classified as a serious occupational disease hazards.
(1) To prevent radioactive hazards, first of all, we must pay attention to understand the workplace and its surrounding environment, and to understand whether the materials, tools, instruments and equipment used contain radioactive substances, and whether they can produce radiation.
(2) In accordance with the regulations, if there are radioactive hazards in the workplace, the organization should inform the staff of the hazards.
(3) In accordance with the regulations, protective measures shall be taken, protective equipment and warning signs shall be set up, and sanitary testing shall be carried out.
(4) The staff concerned shall be examined and equipped with protective equipment.
In order to maintain their own health and safety, not only pay attention to the prevention of radioactive hazards in the workplace, but also to prevent unnecessary radiological examination in medical institutions, or because of the lack of shielding and protection from excessive radiation exposure; avoid contact with radioactive substances in daily life, to prevent exposure to radiation.
