When may radiography be performed without posting the radiation area?

Radiography must always involve proper posting of the radiation area to ensure the safety of personnel and the public. Posting serves as a crucial warning to prevent unintended exposure and to communicate that radiation is present. This requirement is grounded in regulatory standards and safety practices that prioritize the protection of individuals from potential radiation hazards.

Even when there might be direct surveillance or if the exposure is short, these factors do not mitigate the inherent risks associated with radiation exposure. Regulations are in place to ensure that radiography areas are clearly marked, which is essential for maintaining a safe environment. Therefore, the idea that radiography could be performed without appropriate posting under certain circumstances contradicts established safety protocols aimed at minimizing exposure risks.
