[ RadSafe ] Medical examinations

[Geo>K0FF]

Just curious, does the exam include X-Rays?

Does your country require chemical workers, petroleum workers or
other groups to do the same?

Sounds to me like a good idea, but actually they are probably developing a 
pre-calamity data base.

Similar to all large cities taking grid coordinated natural radiation 
measurements now.

A baseline must be established in "normal" times so post calamity times can 
be
accurately gauged.

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.
