Further Protection: Instruments for Personnel further protection.—In order to provide maximum further protection to personnel from the hazards of excessive nuclear radiation, three types of monitoring procedures are used in regions where exposure is likely; these include area monitoring, survey monitoring, and personnel monitoring.
Respirators are robust, being made from molded rubber or plastic. They have an exhalation valve and a replaceable cartridge Filter that resists organic vapor and paint spraying. You have to insert the appropriate Filter for the substance being used. Safety glasses Typical jobs requiring eye further protection are sanding, painting a ceiling with a textured compound, spraying paint, and most metalwork tasks. Whenever you are using chemicals, make eye further protection a priority.
For powerboats, a radio antenna may serve as a lightning or protective mast only if it is equipped with a transmitting-type lightning arrester or other means for grounding during electrical storms and if the antenna height is sufficient to provide an adequate cone of further protection for the length of the craft. Antennas with loading coils are considered to end at a point immediately below the coil unless the coil has a suitable gap for bypassing lightning current. The size of the grounding conductor, interconnection, and grounding of metallic masses should be in accordance with principles noted earlier. Ordinary VHP whip antennas provide no lightning further protection. Sailboats with metallic standing rigging will be adequately protected provided that all rigging is grounded and a proper cone of further protection exists.
