 Safety Precautions in the Handling of Radioactive Substances
Radioactive substance must always he handled with the correct
procedures to prevent harmful effects to people and the
environment. The following are sortie basic precautions:
1. Read and follow the advice and instructions marked on
radioactive sources, equipment and work manuals. Gloves
must be worn any time an unsealed source is being used or
whenever contamination is likely to occur.
2. Laboratory coats, long pants, and closed-toe footwear
should be worn.

3. When using radioactive liquids, plastic or metal trays (stainless
steel washes easily) should be utilised to contain potential
spills.
4. Radioactive material, especially liquids, should be kept in
unbreakable containers whenever possible. If glass is used, a
secondary container is necessary.
5. Before eating or drinking, wash hands and forearms
thoroughly.
6. Radioactive sources for educational use are kept in lead
boxes.
