[ RadSafe ] Medical examinations

[edmond0033]

When I was with the USFDA, we were given a physical every three years. 
Radiation was considered one of the 'hazardous' materials.  I agree with you 
that annually may be too much.  However, my private Physician gave me one 
every year, but the Physician's did not include an exam for the eyes or ears 
or lung capacity.

Hi all

In Israel every X-ray technician, and all other radiation workers, must be 
annually checked medically. I think this practice to be nonsensical. I would 
appreciate your views and would like to know what are the regulations in the 
U.S. and in Europe.
