It depends upon what the radioactive samples are. If you handle a glow-in-the-dark wristwatch, then there will be no observable effects.
If you handle a 'hot' piece of Cesium, say, you could lose your arm.

Radioactive waste bag color?
Radioactive waste bags would usually be either yellow or bright orange, with the radioactivity trefoil printed on it along with warnings. It should be noted, that though Radioactive waste SHOULD be stored in Yellow bags, and tagged as "Radioactive Waste", Not all yellow bags contain radioactive waste, And, yellow bags that one finds loose, without a tag, MAY BE Radioactive Waste, and treated as a "SPILL", or "Loss of control of Radioactive Material". At that point, proper personnel should be notified, and the person finding the bag, should stand fast, allowing NO ONE to go anywhere NEAR the bag, until it has been disposed of by trained and certified personnel, and the area around and leading to the bag, declared "Clean". Naturally, this type of action and problem usually only occurs in and around places that handle Radioactive Material/Waste. But, a Hospital, DOES quite often handle both low level, and HIGH level Radioactive Materiel, and therefore, Yellow bags, should be assumed Radioactive, properly tagged or not.
