The obvious hazard is to control your exposure to radiation- use the shields, use protective vests, etc, and to monitor your exposure to radiation (wear your film badge)- HOWEVER- there are other hazards that should not be overlooked. X Ray equipment operates at high voltages- electrical systems should be in good repair- prior to opening any electrical components, procedures for lockout/tagout must be followed. You have an exposure to strains/sprains in attempting to move or position patients, and well as slips and falls from liquids, body fluids, etc. You may have a BIOHAZARD exposure with patients, hypodermic needles, etc. You may have an exposure to chemical hazards from film developing machinery, and an exposure to assault from patients- trauma cases may involve intoxicated persons, patients in great pain, etc.
