Can concrete X-ray be dangerous to humans?
Yes. Like most tools, concrete X-ray can be harmful if not used properly. In order to eliminate potential harm, we implement four key safety precautions, along with the use of state-mandated radiation monitoring equipment. Time – The less time exposed to radiation, the safer you are. Distance – The farther away you are from a source of radiation, the safer you are. Shielding – Utilizing objects such as walls, vehicles, and building materials provides a barrier of safety. Use of Minimal Radiation – In our industry, ALARA stands for” as low as reasonably achievable.” We use the least amount of radiation necessary to complete the required project, thereby minimizing the amount of radiation exposure.
