Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

This action is to amend ORH-744, ORH-745, ORH-746, and ORH-747 which contain best practices for radiation safety for x-ray registrants. These documents are tailored to x-ray operators of general radiographic systems, those working in dental and veterinary practices, and those using non-medical x-ray units. Proposed amendments include removing outdated information related to x-ray film, fixing minor typos and grammatical errors, clarifying language to improve readability, and utilizing the Office of Radiological Health’s (ORH) standard guidance document template.
