X-ray machines are important tools in today’s technology. They have opened many avenues to research and manufacturing. But since they, like all tools, are capable of causing injury, they must be used with knowledge and respect. This X-ray Safety Program is designed to give the operator a basic understanding of how X-ray-producing machines operate and how to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Follow these steps to ensure the safe use of X-ray machines. The material in this program may be printed out and kept for later referral.
