Lesson Description Often the most neglected and misunderstood types of monitoring on hazardous waste sites are radiation hazards and monitoring. Therefore, waste site workers should understand radiation hazards and different types of radiation. This Radiological Hazards lesson introduces radiological hazards to help workers to choose the type of protection necessary for any type of radiation hazard they may encounter in the workplace. It categorizes radiation types and examines radiation dos...
