There’s ultrasonic testing going on at the construction site next to me; what should I do?
Thread Content
There is an inspection site nearby where inspections are carried out at night, using either X-rays or gamma rays. At first I didn’t pay attention to it, but recently such inspections have become more frequent. The detector gives an alarm at a level of 0.25, while the maximum value can exceed 2.0. What should I do?
The unobstructed safety distance for X-rays should be 50 meters; the distance required for gamma rays is likely even greater, and one must stay well beyond that safety distance. If the detector gives an alarm, it means the exposure level has exceeded the limits. Evacuate. However, the body’s exposure to radiation is cumulative, and it’s not a problem as long as this value is not exceeded.
By standard, 2.5 is considered to be above the limit, but why is the alarm threshold set at 0.25?
Don’t go to that place, and it will be fine.
There are also alarms in the key devices – so are no inspections being carried out? Does the leader agree?
The construction site next to it probably doesn’t belong to our company; otherwise, they would have informed us in advance. First, it’s best to check for any adverse symptoms, and at the same time contact that company immediately to request that necessary isolation measures be taken.
Report it to the company’s ESH department so that the company can handle it.

Conscience has been devoured by dogs; there are fewer and fewer ethical companies. Why not inform the people around when doing such things? What should those ignorant people without detectors do, just let the radiation harm them?
