There are three primay ways to limit exposure to radiation, and they are time, distance, and shielding. By decreasing the time you are exposed, you limit exposure. By increasing the distance between you and the source, you limit exposure. And by placing shielding between you and the source you limit exposure.

Control of exposure to radiation is driven by 3 factors- time, distance, and shielding. Radiation is subject to the "inverse square law- doubling distance reduces exposure by the inverse square- so a little distance (long handled tongs) reduces exposure a LOT.
Three factors affect radiation exposure- time, distance,, shielding. Time can be controlled in some cases by planning work in advance to limit the time you are exposed. Distance is frequently the best control- since exposure is based on the inverse square of the distance. Stay as far from the source as possible. Shielding is effective, however, is often not practical. Enough lead and concrete CAN stop most gamma rays- but you cannot walk wearing a ton of lead and concrete.

Radiation exposure safety is the process of preventing or minimizing exposure to radiation, and tracking what does occur.
