Radiation exposures are carefully monitored for all operational staff, and if anyone exceeds the permitted dose over a period they would be given other work to average things out. The permitted dose has been evaluated over a long period (the last 50 years or so) and is reviewed by international authorities. As far as I know all countries with nuclear plants sign up to and implement the recommendations.
In fact nuclear plant staff have a good health record, perhaps because they have yearly medical checks so that conditions are often found earlier than for the general population. By this I mean conditions which all humans are liable to, like heart trouble, Diabetes, cancer, etc.
