N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 12 § 38.0 - Finding of fact
The commissioner finds that every industry, trade, occupation and process involving the use or presence of radioactive material or radiation-producing equipment involves elements of danger to the lives, health and safety of persons employed or present therein. The commissioner further finds that special regulations are necessary for the protection of such persons, in that such material and equipment may emit invisible and imperceptible rays or particles having the property of producing deleterious or fatal effects, immediate or deferred, upon and within the human body.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
