Non-Ionizing Radiation Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)

Exposure to non-ionizing radiation can cause health issues including burns, radiation sickness, cancer, or even death dependent on the energy and exposure time. Extensive radiological protection measures are necessary to minimize the risk of injury and ensure the health and safety of all personnel. The Non-Ionizing Radiation Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) app guides a user in conducting a safety evaluation that meets standards and defines the roles and responsibilities of personnel working with non-ionizing radiation sources. Using the app, users can review safety requirements for work with or around equipment that produces non-ionizing radiation. Requirements include that workers stay out of areas that have warning signs and never perform maintenance on a piece of equipment capable of producing Non-ionizing radiation without monitoring the equipment’s condition and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. The app will provide the user with an opportunity to identify potential hazards and control measures for each specific activity. This app is a critical tool for maintaining a safe working environment when non-ionizing radiation sources are present.
