If you are a radiation worker you should have been given training in the use of sources, and if you don't like the work, don't do it! However sources are essential for some tasks, like calibrating instruments or examining welds, or in medical treatments. The important things are to know what type of source it is, and its strength. You should also be given advice from a professional qualified health physicist on how to use it safely including your allowed exposure time and distance from the source, and always wear a radiation badge recording your dosage received.

If you do all this, and record what you do in a logbook as well, you should have no worries However, the NovaNet answer to this question is "The hazards associated with handling any radiation

source depend on time, distance, and shielding.

How should a radiation worker feel about the use of radiation sources?

Any radiation worker working around radiation sources will have to be extremely conscious about what is happening. Certainly safety is the primary concern in doing the job. As regards being irradiate, he'll want to remember the three keys to minimizing exposure: time, distance and shielding. He'll minimize the time he is exposed to the source, stay as far from it as he can and still do the job, and will use any and all shielding he can in working with the source.Supplement Your worker will also wear a 'radiation badge' a special photo film sensitive to most radiation. this will be checked regularly.Radiation sources do a lot of good things for us, but must be used with extreme caution and with a full understanding of their potential. The competent radiation worker is a confident individual. He knows what needs to be done and how to do it safely. He is cognizant of the consequences of screw ups. He continues to learn more about what he does from those he works with, and also to teach others of his team.


Can you ask for another social worker if have difficulties worker with the one you have?

There is no harm in asking, if you feel the relationship with your current social worker is less than adequate. However, you should make this request appropriately, honestly, and respectfully. In addition, make sure you write down specifics as to why you feel this way.


Is the heat you feel from a fireplace radiation?

Yes, the heat you feel from a fireplace is primarily in the form of radiation. As the fire heats up, it emits infrared radiation that warms objects and people in its vicinity. This is why you can feel the warmth even if you are not directly in front of the fire.


Can humans feel radioactivity?

Not actual radiation, but you feel the effects


What radiation from the sun makes us feel warm?

The radiation from the sun that makes us feel warm is primarily infrared radiation. While the sun emits a broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and ultraviolet rays, it is the infrared radiation that is responsible for the heat we feel on our skin. This thermal radiation is absorbed by our bodies, leading to a warming sensation.


Heat we feel feel from the sun is what?

The heat we feel from the sun is infrared radiation. This type of electromagnetic radiation is given off by the sun and warms the Earth's surface when absorbed.


Is heat you feel from the sun radiation?

Yup.


How is the heat we feel from the sun transferred to us: through conduction, convection, or radiation?

The heat we feel from the sun is transferred to us primarily through radiation.


Can you feel ultra violet?

How did Milton feel about his worker?

He was nice to his workers and was generous and kind to them.


What type of radiation makes you feel warm?

Infrared radiation is responsible for making you feel warm. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation that produces heat when absorbed by the body. This is why objects like the sun or a heater emitting infrared radiation can create a sensation of warmth on your skin.
