Radiation:

Exposure to high levels of radiation, much higher than permitted for staff working around radiation sources, has been associated with cancer, birth defects, and other health problems.  At XXXXX, the main sources of radiation exposure include laboratories, patients, and x-ray producing machines. The organization is committed to keeping radiation exposures As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).  The ALARA program ensures that every activity involving radiation is planned to minimize exposure for employees, students, patients, and visitors.
