How can workers minimize their exposure to radiation?

Minimizing exposure to radiation is crucial for the safety and health of workers in environments where radiation is present. The most effective way to achieve this is by utilizing protective equipment, such as lead aprons, shields, or other barriers, which can significantly reduce the amount of radiation that reaches the body. Additionally, limiting the time spent near radiation sources is another critical factor. The less time a worker spends in proximity to these sources, the lower their overall exposure will be. This principle is often summarized in the "ALARA" concept, which stands for "As Low As Reasonably Achievable," emphasizing proactive measures to limit exposure through time management and protective measures.

The other options do not contribute to minimizing exposure and are not advisable practices.
