radiation regulatory bodies. ( international + indian )akshayonslideshar
Radiation is harmful . right ? but who is looking after that it is being used in correct manner in hospitals .I have tried to write about some international and indian regulatory bodies.
Regulatory bodies that oversee radiation safety include the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US, National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) in the US, and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) in India. These bodies establish standards and guidelines for safe use of radiation, authorize practices involving radiation sources, inspect facilities, and provide recommendations to ensure radiation protection and safety.
This document provides an overview of workplace radiation monitoring instruments. It describes the main types as dose rate meters, dosimeters, surface contamination meters, and airborne contamination meters/gas monitors. Dose rate meters directly measure external exposure in units such as microsieverts per hour. Dosimeters measure cumulative external exposure over time in units such as microsieverts. Surface contamination meters detect radioactive material on surfaces that could lead to internal exposure. Airborne contamination meters and gas monitors measure internal exposure from radioactive materials in the air. The document explains the basic purpose and applications of these instrument types for monitoring radiation hazards in the workplace.
The document summarizes the responsibilities of various parties in regards to the safe use of sealed radioactive sources in borehole logging. It outlines requirements for suppliers, users, radiation safety officers, and employees. Suppliers must provide equipment meeting standards and share information on sources and equipment. Users must obtain licensing, examine equipment regularly, develop safety procedures, train staff, and appoint a radiation safety officer if required. The radiation safety officer's duties include record keeping, reporting, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
The report recommends criteria of a universal and generic nature for defining the radiation exposure situations that
can and need be subject to radiological protection regulations and those that cannot or need not. It suggests that the relevant legislation should specifically
define those situations that should be covered by the legislation, because they can be controlled, and those that may be excluded from legislation because they cannot be controlled by any reasonable means. It also recommends that the legislation should empower regulators to define the extent of application of regulatory requirements to the situations covered by the legislation.
Regulators should identify the situations than
need
be controlled with the full system of regulatory Requirements and those that are exempted from compliance with particular regulatory requirements on the grounds that they need not be controlled because those requirements are unwarranted.

The Fire and Rescue Service Books is a guidance for organize a safe system of...Mario Robusti
Operational guidance for incidents involving hazardous material.
In everyday language "hazardous materials" means solids, liquids, or gases that can wound people, other living organisms, or damage property, or the environment. They not only include materials that are toxic, radioactive, flammable, explosive, corrosive, oxidizers, asphyxiates, biohazards, pathogen or allergen substances and organisms, but also materials with physical conditions or other characteristics that render them hazardous in specific circumstances, such as compressed gases and liquids, or hot/cold materials.
The Department for Communities & local Government, with collaboration of CFRA (Chief Fire & Rescue Adviser) publish in 2012 an interesting guideline for a bettere organization of the incident ground, following safe and correct procedure. The target of this operational guidance, about the "incident involving hazardous materials" is to provide an unvaried approach for common operational practices. This simple rules could give a better explanation about the interoperability between fire and rescue services, other emergency responders, industry experts and other relevant groups. These common principles, practices and procedures are intended to support the development of safe systems of work on the incident ground and to enhance national resilience.
This book promotes and enhance good practice within the Fire and Rescue Service and is offered as a current industry standard. It is envisaged that this will help establish high standards of efficiency and safety in the interests of employers, employees and the general public.
The Guidance, which is compiled using the best sources of information known at the date of issue, is intended for use by competent persons. The application of the guidance does not remove the need for appropriate technical and managerial judgement in practical situations with due regard to local circumstances, nor does it confer any immunity or exemption from relevant legal requirements, including by-laws.Those investigating compliance with the law may refer to this guidance as illustrating an industry standard.
This book could contain interesting suggestion that could interest also Firefighters, first responder and EMS from different country, wich not follow law, guidelines or practices from United Kingdom or Commonwealth Countries.
Major incidents involving hazardous materials in the United Kingdom are rare. Such incidents place significant demands on local fire and rescue services and often require resources and support from other fire and rescue services and emergency responders.
However smaller scale incidents involving hazardous materials are more prevalent and these may require a response from any fire and rescue service in England.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
