New Safety Initiative: Visual Radiation Protection Reminders

We can train. We can educate. But sometimes — we just need a reminder.

That’s why we’re introducing our NEW Shield Up Radiation Protection Reminder Signs as part of our ongoing safety initiatives. In busy imaging environments, staff often step into rooms “just for a moment ” without their radiation protection. Those moments still matter. A quick visual prompt at the right place can make the difference between exposure and protection. These high-visibility reminder signs encourage staff to pause and grab their Lead apron, Thyroid collar, and Lead glasses before entering rooms where x-ray is in use.

Where These Signs Make the Biggest Impact

• Fluoroscopy control rooms
• Interventional Radiology & Cath Lab control areas
• OR entrances
• Above OR scrub sinks
• Near scrub sinks in imaging departments
• And anywhere decisions are made quickly is exactly where reminders work best.

Why This Matters

Radiologic technologists are usually vigilant — but other clinical teams may not be. These signs help reinforce a shared expectation of protection without confrontation. It’s a simple step toward a stronger radiation safety culture.
