Why do people exposed to radiation regularly need to wear radiation badges?
The radiation badges tell you how much radiation you have been exposed to so you know when you have been exposed to enough (before it becomes dangerous) and you can stop work in that area until you are able to be exposed to radiation again. They sometimes wear lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation. I think this is right but you had better check again somewhere else because it might not be right.

Solar radiation is deadly, However, the Earth's atmosphere and radiation belts attenuate the Sun's output, making life as we know it possible here.

Humans generate a vitamin when exposed to sunlight, which is necessary for proper metabolic activity.
