The incidence of actual and potential radiation accidents is discussed along with the biological effects which have been observed as a result of known incidents. Recommendations are put forward whereby a given operator can reduce the possibility of accidental exposure. A description of active and passive monitoring devices is also given along with a set of guidelines for their selection and use.
