The IAEA, in preparation of safety standards, collaborates with other United Nations bodies, such as the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), which undertakes scientific evaluations of sources of ionizing radiation and of the associated exposures, Source: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) effects and risks to human health and to the environment. 5  The Standardized International Design Ionizing Radiation Symbol Back to Overview The circle The circle in the middle of the trefoil represents an atom. The blades The blades represent the 3 common types of ionizing radiation emanating from it — alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ). Square size X: radius As big as A4 paper.

Department To remind pregnant woman about the radiation that could potentially harm baby, even causing birth defect. Back to Overview 8 Common Signage at X-Ray Department To alert people when x-ray equipment is active, accompanied by a red light. When the red light is on, access to x-ray areas is prohibited.

To emphasize nuclear safety and security, in 2007 the IAEA and the ISO introduced this symbol designed to be universally understood as ‘Danger — Run Away — Do Not Touch!’. What is this symbol used for? Used when high-activity radioactive sources which exposure could cause death or serious personal injury.

They must be informed about risks and safety measures, promote adherence to guidelines, and be easily understood worldwide. The symbols are not meant to frighten people but to let patients and visitors know they are in an area with ongoing radiation. (This symbols helps increase confidence in the safety of the facility.)
