Describe ways in which we can minimise the dangers of ionising radiation?

Keeping radioactive sources away from the body and never bringing them close to the eyes limiting time of exposure to ionising radiation shielding radioactive sources fro the body and handling them using tongs storing radioactive sources in lead lined containers to ensure they have no exposure to the environment while in storage wearing goggles and washing hands after using radioactive sources monitoring radiation a person receives using film badges all areas containing ionising radiation will show the hazard symbol
