INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING SAFETY
X–RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND
OPERATOR UNLESS ESTABLISHED SAFE EXPOSURE FACTORS ARE
STRICTLY OBSERVED
Though this apparatus is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical
safety, the useful x–ray beam becomes a source of danger in the hands of the
unauthorized and incompetent operator. Excessive exposure to x–radiation causes
damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precaution shall be taken to make it impossible for
unauthorized and unqualified persons to operate this equipment or to expose
themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, those qualified and authorized to operate this apparatus should
become familiar with the established safe exposure factors by a careful study of the
International Commission of Radiological Protection (ICRP) Annals Number 26:
Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection and
other national standard authorities.
