RADIATION SAFETY RPOCEDURE

1.0 SCOPE
This document establishes mandatory safety requirements and procedures for safe
use, handling, storage, and transport of radioactive materials or x-ray generating
equipment by all Standard Arabia RSO, radiographer personnel and its subcontractors
that shall be involved in radiographic testing to comply with the latest radiation Safety
Regulations issued by the Government's Authority.

It sets forth procedures for administering and reporting routine and non-routine safety
activities and for transportation and storage of radioactive materials.

2.0 DEFINITIONS
2.1 Radiation / Radiography:

2.1.1 Radiation: Or more correctly, ionizing radiation is the name given to gamma rays,
x-ray, alpha and beta particles, high-speed electrons, neutrons and other nuclear
particles, which are emitted by a radioactive source. Radiation upsets the
electrical equilibrium (balance) of atom in the matter it encounters. This
imbalance is called ionization.

2.1.2 Radioactivity: Radioactivity is the strength of the radioactive source of material.

It is usually measured in Curies (Ci).

The definition of a Curie (Ci) is

1 Ci =3.7 X 1010 disintegrations per second

2.1.3 Radiography: The examination of material by non-destructive methods utilizing

radioactive materials or X-ray generating equipment.

2.1.4 Users: Any person, organization, department or contractor who uses radioactive
materials or radiation producing equipment. This may be in client controlled
areas as well as the user's premises.

2.1.5 Survey: An evaluation (of the production, use, release, disposal or presence of
sources) of radiation to determine potential radiation hazards. It may include
tests, physical examinations of radiation equipment, measurement of levels of
radiation and the observance of associated work practices.

2.2 Exposure to Radiation:

2.2.1 Roentgen: The amount or dose of radiation to which something is exposed is

of radiation per gram of absorbing material. In SI unit one rad equal 0.01 gray
(Gy).

2.2.4 Dose Equivalent: The quality of ionizing radiation absorbed by the body in terms
of its estimated biological effect. The special unit of measurement is the Rem. In
SI unit one Sievert (Sv) equal to one gray times quality factors.

2.2.5 Rem: The special unit to measure the dose of any radiation to body tissue in
terms of its estimated biological effect relative to a dose received from any
exposure (R) of X-rays. In SI unit's one Rem equals 0.01 Sievert (Sv).

2.2.6 Radiation Area: Any area accessible to a person in whom there exists radiation
of such a level that a person could receive a dose in excess of 0.75 mRm in one
hour.

2.2.7 High Radiation Area: Any area accessible to a person in whom there exists
radiation at such a level that a person could receive a dose in excess of 100
mRem in one hour.

2.3 Personnel Dealing with Radiation:

2.3.1 Radiographer: Any individual who performs radiographic operations or who is

at the site where the sealed sources are being used and personally supervises
