The first documented cases that became known by the public were in 1917 involving the Radium Girls: low paid women that painted a luminescent radium/zinc based paint on clock and instrument dials so they could be read at night.
However cases among scientists go back to as early as 1897 when Marie Curie began her work separating radioactive elements from uranium ore.
Note: early life about 3 billion years ago was sometimes exposed to high levels of radiation when naturally occurring uranium fission reactors spontaneously formed in some locations that could have also caused radiation poisoning. However the concentration of uranium-235 in natural uranium soon dropped too low for such reactors to form after that.
