Abstract-The use of Industrial Radiography for examining the quality of Weld joints is very popular worldwide. In India, many welding activities like construction and laying the huge pipelines for gas and water transportation and distribution as well construction of storage tanks are performed. The objects are working under high pressure and therefore, it is important to produce the weld beads with high quality. Industrial radiography uses ionizing radiation to view objects in a way that cannot be seen otherwise. The method has grown out of engineering, and is a major element of non-destructive testing (NDT) to inspect materials for hidden flaws. The radiation caused by these facilities is very dangerous however, with the use of new technologies and proper protection, risks of injury and death associated with radiation can be greatly reduced. This paper questions the common assumption that an industrial radiographer has role responsibility for job safety, pointing out that the owner, or supervisor in charge of the overall work, has overall responsibility. Management models are proposed in which the owner or supervisor takes a more active role than has usually been the case. It also discusses a radioisotope retrieval incident and recommends a revision to gamma camera designs, proposing that the lock should be fitted to the delivery port not the control port.
