Invisible, but as lethal as a projectile expelled by a firearm, ionizing radiation can cause irreversible damage to human beings, generating from a skin lesion to the death of the individual. Many of the effects caused by the interaction of this electromagnetic wave with the body occur late, and treatment to prevent its proliferation in the body is not possible. Countless times these biological damages generate a sudden change in the quality of life of those who interacted with radiation, whether intentionally or not. Despite these facts, there is a way to prevent its fatal effects. It is enough to have security for those who work with this type of energy and also inspections to ensure that accidents do not occur, such as the one in Goiânia with the Cesium element or the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In other words, respecting the human rights of workers, especially those who work at risk, preserves the most precious asset of human beings: life.
