[Evaluation of the occupational exposure risk to non-ionizing radiation in the working environment in a metal mechanical industry].
Among the various sources of risk present in a metal engineering industry, it is important to take into account the risk related to non ionizing radiations. New technologies, in fact, use radiations in different equipment to an ever increasing extent. It is therefore important, on the basis of the current regulations, to carry out a census, since the frequencies used in the workplaces vary widely. It is also important to measure exposure, in order to limit access areas, but, above all, to measure personal doses, since it is useful to record the personal doses in view of the uncertain regulation and in connection with exposure levels lower than the reference in order to limit non-stochastic effects, as was shown in our study. Information and training of personnel, health surveillance and the specific observation of critical groups of workers, are also of fundamental importance.
