The most intense and therefore dangerous part of the instrument is the path of the incident X-ray beam. Thus care should always be exercised to know the expected path of the The Research X-ray Safety Manual is one part of the. University of Calgary Radiation Safety Program. This manual was developed to assist university personnel to meeting the regulatory requirements for radiation emitting devices or more commonly referred to as x-ray producing machines or equipment. X-Ray Safety Manual1.0INTRODUCTION1.1Purpose of the ManualThe Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) X-Ray Safety Committee(XRSC) has undertaken the development of this manual to provide a common basis forinformation about x-ray safety and the x-ray safety procedures within the X-Ray Radiation Safety Manual. • Individual sensitivity to ionizing radiation: § developing embryo/fetus is the most sensitive § children are the second most vulnerable § the elderly are more sensitive than middle-aged adults § young to middle-aged adults are the least sensitive.
