ASNT Industrial Radiography Radiation Safety Practice Test

What should be included in the daily inspection of fixed facilities?

1. Employee attendance records

2. Visible and audible warning signals

3. External lighting conditions

4. Maintenance logs

The correct answer is: Visible and audible warning signals

During the daily inspection of fixed facilities, checking visible and audible warning signals is crucial for maintaining safety standards in radiography. These signals are integral to alerting personnel and the public to potential hazards associated with radiation exposure and to indicate when it is safe to enter or exit areas where radiographic operations are being conducted. Visible signals, such as warning lights or signs, provide clear visual cues about radiation status or restricted areas, ensuring all individuals are fully aware of their surroundings. Audible signals, such as alarms or sirens, further enhance safety by providing immediate alerts that can reach people in environments where visual cues might be overlooked, especially in cases of emergency. By including the inspection of these warning systems in daily checks, facilities can ensure that all safety communication methods are functioning correctly and that personnel are adequately protected from radiation hazards. This contributes to a culture of safety and compliance with regulatory standards that govern industrial radiography operations.
