X-ray equipment in medical diagnosis. Part A, Recommended safety procedures for installation and use : safety code 20A : H46-2/00-65E-PDF
"This document is one of a series of Safety Codes prepared by the Radiation Protection Bureau to set out requirements for the safe use of radiation emitting devices. Included in this Code are sections for the specific guidance of the radiologist, the physician, the operator and the medical or health physicist concerned with safety procedures, equipment performance and protection surveys. The safety procedures, equipment and installation guidelines detailed in this Code are primarily for the instruction and guidance of persons employed in Federal Public Service Department and Agencies, as well as those coming under the jurisdiction of the Canada Labour Code ... This code supersedes safety code RPB-SC-4, entitled 'X-rays in medical, dental and paramedical diagnostic radiology - recommended installation and safety procedures', and it is intended to complement x-ray equipment design, construction and performance standards promulgated under the Radiation Emitting Devices Act.--Explanatory notes, p5 of 52.
