Radiation hazard refers to the potential risk posed by exposure to ionizing radiation, which can damage living tissues and increase the likelihood of cancer and other health effects. Common sources of radiation hazards include radioactive materials, medical imaging devices, and certain industrial processes. The severity of the hazard depends on the type, intensity, and duration of exposure. Effective safety measures and regulations are essential to mitigate these risks and protect individuals and the environment.

Yes, within the context of industrial hygiene (occupational hygiene), radiation is a physical hazard.
Any nuclear reaction produce radiation hazard and should be guarded against by proper shielding.
The standard unit of radiation related to biologic hazard is the Sievert (Sv). It is used to measure the potential biological damage caused by radiation exposure. It takes into account both the type of radiation and its effect on different tissues in the body.
Of course there is. That was a massive explosion that spewed radiation for miles.
A fallout hazard is when there is a risk of a nuclear missile devastating a continent and turning it into a wasteland full of deadly radiation

One hazard of exposure to infrared radiation is skin burns. Prolonged or intense exposure to infrared radiation can heat up and damage the skin, leading to burns similar to those caused by exposure to heat sources like fire or hot surfaces.
