How to order this video
Your viewers will see what happened when Goiania, Brazil was contaminated with cesium 137.
For all healthcare workers
Almost any hospital could see victims of a radiological incident.
Without proper training, hospital staff might be unnecessarily concerned
about their own safety when working near or with the victims. This video
is not just for Level 1 medical centers. Experts agree that such an
incident will likely result in hundreds or thousands of "worried-well"
overwhelming all healthcare facilities in the surrounding areas. This
video puts the risks in perspective and presents basic safety
procedures. It is appropriate for all staff. It can also serve as an
introduction to more advanced training.
