Radiation Safety Risk Assessment Guide

This document appears to be a risk assessment for work activities involving radiation exposure and confined space entry. It identifies several hazards including exposure to radiation, gas leaks, falls, and concurrent work. For each hazard, it evaluates the existing risk controls, additional controls needed, and assigns a risk priority number. Personnel responsible for implementing additional controls are also identified. The aim is to minimize risks and ensure safety of workers during activities like transporting radiation sources, inspection of tanks, and working in confined spaces.
